      Nope, that’s an original. The old green emperors have blue interference on the dark green. 😀

        I can’t see the auction from work but i have always wondered why Windstone used blue on teh Green Emperor it has NEVER made sense to me. I bought mine from a bookstore right after they retired them so I know it was not tampered with

          They used purple interference on the old brown emperor. Why not use blue on the green one? Makes them a little more special and regal.

          To the original poster, no, this is 100% legit. They were painted this way.

              Oh cool! I hope I get the chance to see a brown and old green emp in person someday. 😀

                      Here’s this thread, where they discuss this coloration.

                      It shows in the pic you posted of your Brown emperor way back on the first “Show your Windstone Collection” thread. Subtle, but it shows. 🙂

                      I know I didn’t realize my black male griffin had purple above his beak until someone posted a pic of theirs that showed it. Mine is in a spot in my room that doesn’t get a lot of direct light, so I didn’t notice it until I went looking for it.

                      Well, I am waiting on a quote for some glass fronted wooden book cases, to display heavier pieces in….

                      Sooo, I will take him 🙂 I only have one other Emp, why not an Old Green for #2…hehehehehe

                        I probably don’t need to say this, but this guy is not only rare, but to find one mint in box is unheard of. I cannot recall a green emperor mint in box on eBay, ever. This is a very, very amazing find for whoever wins him.
