I know the bottom one is fake... but do you guys think the top one is original or are they both fake. i think the top one is the real deal... but i would love to hear some opinions.. I took into consideration that the bigger one is made in england...theres not makers or date marks.. its 19" x 30" . the back is smooth glossy enamel. Not that rough acid back thats indian or argentian. Also look at the color the larger one is more cherry red and the fake is more maroon ,, and also the paint is a lot more perfect while the fake has a lot of imperfections and is sloppy.

Why would anyone with an ounce of credibility authenticate one of your signs when your sources are questionable?
In my opinion; No reputable person would risk their reputation for one of your signs, not knowing it's full history or origins.

The backside of both signs look contrived. No grommets. Obviously the smaller is fake and IMO the larger one isn't correct either.

I seem to remember Jaguar signs being maroon not red, you have both signs at your house, did they both come from the same seller?

I'm betting they are both fake. The lettering on the top one is very crude also. Why would small signs such as these even exist, given that they are purported to be for a dealership? I'm not even close to being in the arena of attacking you, but you have seemingly put your hands and eyes on more signs since I have become aware of your presence here than I possibly have in my lifetime; given that, by feel and/or sight, you should have not given either of those signs the time of day.
Just my opinion for whatever it is worth.
