Some counterfeits have managed to defeat this tell-tale sign, so next look at the shoe. His raised foot should show a good portion of his shoe--at the heel, along the side and the front. Reprints and fakes cut off at the sock line, with maybe a hint of shoe only showing. That should do it.

Thank you for stating, with more clarity and much better detail, what I was trying to say in post #2.

Best regards,

Eric
