Texas Iron Club
I got this "Iron Club"in trade from a well respected Texas digger , collector and author. But you must have some expertise in the items them self and at least good eye for natural patina that is correct for locality , and item . But , hey I was fooled with a Indian Pipe Tomahawk recently that was a forgery , I'm not so smart. Luckily this D Guard had good provenance too , all these things add up . Even major museums get fooled , case in point Archaic Greek Horse head at the MET , and I personally called out a forgery at the Prado in Madrid done by the same shop or person , every body "said your wrong !, This is the Prado" but its off display now , not from my opinion I assure you !
. You simply must make a informed decision especially on objects like CSA stuff which is so commonly faked .
