Stan: the Rosa copies look really good -- the lettering seems
identical, with the only noticeable difference being a certain puffiness
of the bust. Am I missing something more obvious? Also, I have a
couple of Rosa (aka BECKER) copies that are edge marked BECKER in small
letters without any "COPY" anywhere; could these fakes be so marked?
Syd P.S. lovely farthing!
