OTHER INFORMATION

The first photo's ever shown of this piece had a totally different head and neck but it vanished for a while to resurface with a better head for production, it still looks awful though.

Three of the never released version original neck were sold at the 1999 Extravaganza auction, selling for £200, £250 & £240 - see the bottom of this page for some side by side comparison photos and explanations of the changes. it was said that there were 6 original piece's in existence - 3 sold at the auction, a dealer had 1 and the other 2 were broken
A much better version was released in 2003 (EN2380) and was sculpted by Andrew Bill to make sure it was made properly this time

This piece came with the card folder type certificate

Below are official photos of a cast master piece with the resculpted head and tail in wax
