china doll identity

Please help me to confirm this China Lady's manufacturer. Her face looks like a Kister but her details vary between Kister, Hertwig and Conta & Boehme. What do you say? mine/Hertwig - shaded iris Conta & Boehme - often shaded, seldom outlined mine/Kister - upper lip low, far-spaced peaks Hertwig - upper lip heart-shaped, lower lip deep oval mine/Conta & Boehme - brows thin line gets heavier in middle Other info on mine: 1860s, no marks, black boots lavender garters, Kister hairstyle but doesn't mean it couldn't have been copied. Thank You for your time. Joan
