I guess I was one of the ba-zillion people watching this on eBay.
Lovely item. I'm certainly no expert on these, so cant add much. I couldn't tell from the pics if it was period or a viccy copy.
But it's very beautiful, the quality is lovely.
You've got deep pockets bro!

And surely now a picture of you wearing it?

Hi Michael

Thanks for your insights on this. That's a big help.

Hi Atlantia

Yes, it's hard discerning what's a copy and what isn't. I concluded the quality was too fine to be a copy. But of course you get some very fine copies. However, in the hand it is very clear it's not 19th century. It is a good deal older than that. It even smells 16th century.

About those deep pockets. Truth is, I put a high bid in not expecting anybody to go anywhere near that price and, unfortunately, someone was prepared to pay about 1 dollar less than me!

But I'm glad I paid it. I think it's worth the sum, easily. It is without question the best item in my collection.

Well mate, I think it looks fabulous!
Some pics of it one display in your collection perhaps?
If you arent going to model it for us?

As for the bidding, well its heartbreaking to think you lost it by a dollar but would have gone a little higher, so well done for getting the bid right

Hi Atlantia

No problem. May take a while though. My collection is in storage.
