How can you tell? Also, what's considered "modern" by repro standards. I have known this decoy since 1979 and it has always looked as it does now. I'm definitely not saying it's not a repro because I have zero clue about decoys but want to know more about this one in particular.

It's considered "modern" because Lee Dudley has been dead for over 80 years. This is a picture of an actual Dudley ruddy. FWIW the last one I know of to go to auction sold for something like $240,000, give or take $20-30,000.

A quick seach on the Google found a decoy by a Richard J Kach with a virtually identical Kach carved in the bottom. I didn't find any real information other than something that said he was from Connecticut, however I did not try very hard.
