It seems it comes from the set I have (the one who bought Jan Cogo and then sold to me).
And it also seems similar to the John Deacon I posted on Facebook.
If I have time later, I'll post the JD in this page.

Chris where does it come from? eBay?

Sarah has found this one as well and has added it to the Facebook group and I have to admit- I jumped in right away with my gut feeling having glanced at that Mercury (it IS an absolute mess and has major issues) BUT the more I look at it, the more I can see some genuine characteristics in it. I'm waiting on a response from Giancarlo and Ferdy, but I may very well have been too quick to say fake. I'll update with their opinions as soon as I hear back.

You don't have to wait for a response from Giancarlo... It's obvious that it's a fake...

Nicole, what do you mean with "It seems it comes from the set I have (the one who bought Jan Cogo and then sold to me)"?

To me the Freddie you bought from me (which are approved by many knowledgeble AML members) looks nothing like the one posted by Chris in this thread...

Sounds like he is saying the one you sold him was fake Jan. But we know it's not.

Jan, English isn't nicole's first language and he told me the same thing on my queen autograph group on facebook. Once he posted it there, I understood what he was saying. He means to he thought it looked like it was forged from the one he bought from you. But I don't believe that's true either

Thanks Innuendo for explaining! I get a little "touchy" when I think someone says that autographs I´ve sold is fake...

Glad that wasn´t the case!!

I'm very sorry you misunderstood my words.
As I wrote on FB, I thought the forger tried to make a copy from the GENUINE AND LEGIT set you sold me.

In other words, I wanted to say this: you bought the set --> you sold me that set --> the forger may have seen that pic and tried to copy it.
I got stuck on the dd in Freddie which IMHO looks very similar to my set.
But on FB Innuendo explained the differences.
And yes, my English is a little bit poor sometimes. Remember I'm italian so...BUONA GIORNATA :)
