Agree with Toby. Really easy to tell if a doll's head is "false". All you need to do is open the gun. A doll's head is attached to the barrel, not the standing breech. What you have there is just decoration.

Kinda like "false sideplates" . . . but with a difference. False sideplates really ARE sideplates. It's just that the working parts aren't attached to them, as they are in a sidelock.

I've always liked the Cogswell & Harrison term for false sideplates: "Ornamental strengthening plates."
