Lantaka fake or real?

[Maurice]

Dear forumites,

I have found two lantakas in an antiqueshop which I like very much.
But because I have not much experience with them, maybe somebody can tell me specific things which can distinguish a good from a fake one....

Also I would like to know if there are books writen about lantaka's. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Maurice,

Maybe you can take some pictures of these lantakas. That would help a lot i think.

Post the photos HERE...i'm sure we would ALL like to see them...and Willem will see them here too.

David, there are living more Willems in the Netherlands.
Danny is not reffering to asomotif. But I guess the other Willem is lurking too once in a while.

Unfortunately I don't have pics. I was quick at a real old dusty antique gallery. I have seen the lantaka's lying behind a sideboard. I couldn't reach for the lantaka's to give it a closer look, but it looked like they had nice old patina.
I had very little time because I was there for other business , of which I will post pictures when I have them.

Anyone know anything about books??

Well, of course there are Maurice, but given the context is it really surprising that i would assume Danny meant "our" Willem?
I would think that if you are truly interested in these lantakas that you will return to the shop and ask for a closer look. You should get some photos then and post them. I think it would be really hard to comment without seeing them.

nope, Danny means another Willem.
Let's say "Big Willem"

I have no knowledge of lantaka's at all.
i already PM -ed Maurice.
