There is a lot of stuff coming out of India purported to be "antique" or "old".

They look in remarkably good condition for age and are IMHO clearly modern made copies. India now appears to be the new China in terms of copying items.

Hi Stu,
I see what you mean thanks for the info, it`s becoming more and more of a minefield for the unwary and wary collector alike.
Kind regards
