Hey there! I'm new here but would like your opinion about the fake (I think!) VERY RARE bellringer smurf somebody is selling from Norway. Please go to the following link on ebay and have a look at it. Then compare that smurf to the photo of the super rare bellringe here on this site! What do you see, what do you think? Authentic or not? I believe not. Would love your smurfy input!
Thanks a smurf!

Here is a picture of the Bell Ringer Smurf in question...
Vintage Copy Bell Ringer Smurf
The auction lists this Bell Ringer Smurf for sale as...
"VERY RARE, VINTAGE COPY X-MAS BELLRINGER SMURF"
I think the seller is describing it as an older (ie. vintage) copy of the rare Christmas Bell Ringer Smurf. It's not the original Christmas Prototype of the Bell Ringer Smurf but some Smurf Collectors will still find it a great addition to their Smurf collection!

For comparison purposes - here is a picture of the authentic Bell Ringer Smurf.

This rare prototype Smurf Bell Ringer sold for over $2,339 US a couple of months ago!
Here are some pictures so you can see the details of the ultra-rare Smurf Bellringer. You can see the front and the back. And then a closeup picture of the markings.
Description: "Ultra Rare X-Mas Prototype Bellringer Smurf Schleigh Peyo 1984"
Front of Smurf Bell Ringer
Back of Smurf Bell Ringer
Christmas Prototype Bellringer Smurf Markings
It is stamped "(S) SCHLEIGH (c) 1984 PEYO"
Believe it or not I've seen the prototype Christmas Smurfs sell for even more in the past... over $5,000!
