Definitely chinese fakes. I've seen them here in auction houses regularly.

Yep, no doubts about them.
Chinese fakes. And very poor quality fakes.

Don't be disapointed too much. We all here on the forum have a corner at the attick we don't like to visit too much.

That corner is the place where we learned and studied from our mistakes. Welcome to the club of real collectors.

Honestly, we have all had to what RSWORD calls "Paying the cost of tuition" for collector's college. Most of us have learned this way.
