I would be curious to hear more opinions on this and also know what the history of it is (where you got it from, how much you paid etc) if you know this information. Some clearer photos would be useful as well - IE with flash in some cases, daylight photos and more close up shots using the macro feature on any camera.

The ones I have seen tend to have more wear and age on them then this one does (though most of the ones I have seen are multi-generational)though there does seem to be some signs of age and handling on this one.

There is a good article on the Smithsonian website which talks about cleaning, pigments used etc which may be useful.
