There are around 10 Phims of Chinnaraj indochine mini statues. They were made at the beginning of the WW II (Asia Pacific zone) and presented to soldiers and people. The amulets were made and blessed by great 108 Gurus at Wat Suthat, a major temple of the country. Due to the hasty making of the amulets during the war time, only one fourth or 25% of them were hammered with marking codes. The large part of the amulets carried no marking codes. The smart & economical collectors who posses the above verification technique could identify their genuineness even no marking codes at their bottoms.
