Help needed with unusual Luke farm boy

[hellhippie]

looks like a short pour to me , when I saw the broken part on the back of the neck I got excited for a second and though it might be a pbp but no such luck im afraid

Yes seems to be most people's opinion that it's a short pour but would still like an expert to take a look at it just in case it's a pre prodution only thing is that the experts live in the states and that would require me sending and don't think the authenticating service comes cheap either ?

Hi Cardbackkid

Am posting from the BBC ONE consumer series, Fake Britain. Did you ever get your Luke farm boy authenticated?

We're putting on a special event in Bristol on 10th November - at East Bristol Auction House. We're asking people to bring items relating to film memorabilia to be authenticated. We'll have experts on hand to authenticate and value pieces. We'd love to see your Luke farm boy - we can cover travel expenses - drop me a line for more details [email protected]

Thanks

Hi all , I recently picked up this Luke farm boy that doesn't have any coo/date markings on it it's been suggested that it's a "short shot" but would just like some more opinions on it please ... chances of it being a pre production piece are slim I know but I've been very lucky in the past

I have never had one in my hand, but I have seen one before in a collection on the internet years ago, cool that you have such a figure 8)
