I would add my vote to those who say this is a fantasy made to deceive. From what I can see, everything about it not right. The detailing is not even close to what real originals have, and the engraving on the back is poorly done and you can see things like the underlying lines where the amateurish engraver did not quite follow. Not even an apprentice jeweler of the day would have let something like that quality of engraving out of their shop. Finally, if it were real it would not have a starting bid of $60 or an estimate of $300 to $1,200 - it would be sold through a private sale to a serious collector for at least ten times that amount - or even more.
