It's 3" in diameter, FWIW. I will address the issue with him... many thanks for your help.
Mark as far as Eric goes (this is my opinion) And I have nothing against Eric he is a member here and yes maybe you can ask him BUT Eric buys up large and small collections from auction houses etc., marks them up 50-100 % and puts them back on ebay. With these types of collections you get the good with the bad the shit with the sad.For Eric I would use the word business man not expert. Now back to your pin In my opinion if the pin is 3" exactly not 3 1/8 or 3 1/4 I would deem it a fantasy piece. Now if Eric wishes to come on and tell me why he thinks its real and how he knows that Im all ears. I see it sold for $295.00 and I assume you were the buyer,I would have asked more questions before I bought that pin.....
