Without looking at anything except the auction page, I might buy it for a pound or two as a novelty. (If it had been Sarah Dazeley then I would pay more because her final murder was in my family village!) It doesn’t look authentic at all. It is a shame that the maker couldn’t use their skills for an original design as that would probably be more profitable.
