HHmmm! #1 probably fake as for #2's top end I would say real............!!
#1....Who cares.
#2....I’d need a closer more personal inspection to be confident in my evaluation.
Ummm....
Sorry, could you repeat the question, please?
Been around too long...
Looks to me like both 1 and 2 are fake. Two is better done then one, but still fake.
On two, need to look closely around the side or bottom...
Ok chaps, sober up and forget the joking! One can learn something by closely observing both photos.
#1 is fake, in the sense of not original. The wood shows old scratches and dents that have had time to soften up. The glaring contrast of the stamp - as sharp as if it had been impressed yesterday (or maybe last week) indicates that it cannot be original, as by now it would also have softened and the softened imprint would be full of ancient crud, not black ink or whatever has been used to enhance the lines.
#2 is fake, in the sense of manipulated. Rotate your view to have the face in a more normal vertical position. Note the distortion of the skull. Seems to be a manipulated photo - surprise, surprise!

#1 fake, #2 fake, retouched
First you have new cannons on an old stock then you have new cannons on a rather new stock! So in the first pic you have a 70 year old woman with 10 month old tits! Hope I can say tits on this board. I enjoyed the post Mr. Painter.
