I have the chance to buy this, but I wonder whether it is real, repro, or fantasy. Any opinions? Thanks Jim

Hello,

It looks totally fantasy compared to the real ones I have seen on the WAF.

Best,

James

He's got a nice smile though ... I agree, a fantasy/fake item.

Thanks for the opinions. I suspected it was a fantasy item, myself, but was hoping it was the real thing. :(

the real ones don't look comical ,....
the skulls are the hardest thing to duplicate -
if it looks goofy ,..it probably is --
all though this one looks better than most ,...
