Antiquated type keeping page and a duplicate (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

replica

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'duplicate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'antiquated type keeping page and a' is the wordplay.
'antiquated type' becomes 'relic' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'keeping' is an insertion indicator (some letters kept inside).
'page' becomes 'p'.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'relic' going around 'p' is 'replic'.
'replic'+'a'='REPLICA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for replica that I've seen before include "Caliper (anag)" , "Facsimile" , "Parcel I found with exact copy" , "Reproduction, fascsimile" , "Reproduction, exact copy" .)
