Well, maybe this is the first of a wave of future asian produced high quality replikas. High prices on these collectables can create a monster, there are very skilled artists in china and they are plentyful. They even have "art forgery schools" over there. I saw an documentary about this last year.
The replikas they made in these places were close to impossible to detect. Many of their vases/paintings/etc even got sold on famous auctionhouses. And we are talking about very costly items here.
Yes i know everything about crappy lowbudget "made in china" products, i battle it everytime i need to buy someting down in the local stores. But i am talking about highly skilled individuals... They can sink our hobby when they get the final last details right.
Who wants to pay 5-10,000 for a SS cap when 100% correct replikas has been discovered and 200 new ss caps surfaces every month.... maybe even with a correct maker logo.
I wonder if this cap would pass and ended up for sale on a dealer site if our "artistic freinds" had got the last details, and the surname right??
