Close-up photos of the crest area of the original VDM and the later low-quality reproduction button (second photo below).

Note the highly detailed head and mane. With magnification the head
has visible features in gold such as eye, nostril, upper and lower lip.


The late reproduction has much less detail in the head. In real size
installed in a steering wheel you have to have good eyes to see the
difference, but that fat snout is clearly visible.
