The underside is clearly stamped with two authenticating period marks:

1. "GESCHÜTZT" (German registry/copyright mark) stamped into the textured fur between the hind legs.

2. "VIENNA" stamped into the underside of the belly, indicating it was crafted around c. 1900-1920 specifically for the English-speaking export market.

DIMENSIONS:

- Length: 5 1/2 inches (approx. 14 cm)
