Are variations common on Mettlach thumblifts? I have recently acquired a Heidelberg Mettlach 1675 with a figural thumblift that looks like a topically appropriate student with a wine bottle or perhaps the jester Perkeo. The pictures in the Kirsner books and the Beer stein library show generic thumblifts. Any thoughts on whether or not mine is original equipment? Thanks.
