Well, compared to others that I have seen on the market that doesn't look too bad! Less than $200.00 US delivered to my door, it's certainly something to consider. What alterations would you suggest for this piece Giannis? (I am assuming that the side straps would need to go for one)
Obviously the straps have to go but you then have little else to change as far as accuracy in concerned. What you can do for personalizing it is basicly painting, attaching bronze fittings and scales etc. There are some cast bronze medusa heads in the market although the ancient ones were most probably sheet bronze.

Thank you Giannis, But I have placed a bid on one of the Alexander linos, just a few hours to go and it appears I have the winning bid (fingers crossed) This will cost me much less and I actually like these much better.
Edit: Yea, I won the bid! looking forward to receiving the lino, I can finally rid myself of that horrible brass musculata! 8-)
