Check the weight: Marky’s pieces used a higher tin content (for detail), making them denser than standard iron. A 10-inch gear should weigh 15-20% more than a generic version.
Look for the M-S logo: Use a flashlight at a low angle to highlight the negative relief.
Search for Slovak words: He often hid his initials in Cyrillic or Latin Slovak script inside decorative swirls.
Consult the "Marky Slovak Registry": A private collector’s database exists at MarkySlovakCastings.org (not affiliated with Woodman).

Marky Slovak

Collectors pay a premium for this. A standard Woodman bust might go for $150. A authentic self-casting? Expect $600-$1,200 depending on the expression (the "Raging Woodman" variant is the most sought-after).

Production Quality:

Like most Woodman Casting scenes, the production values are basic. The focus is on a handheld camera and minimal lighting, designed to give the appearance of an authentic, behind-the-scenes "casting" session.
