Buy with caution. Looking at the pictures, this looks more like REFURBISHED vs. reproduction. It's quite possible an original was used for a template if they did go with a full repro, though. Probably redone in China, and if that's the case, then they definitely reversed engineered one by making casts of original parts. The "reflectors" behind the jewels are tough to replicate, and if the pictures are of the repro, they did a good job of that.

The thing that concerns me is, assuming the pictures are accurate, that the base looks weird. Like a "wobbly" chrome job instead of sharper and cleaner lines as original.


Something looks "off" but I can't place my finger on it. Anyone buy one of these?

For reference, here's a REAL one.
