<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2593903, member: 19463"]What I see here is perfectly normal for fakes. If I were to decide to go into the fake making business I could buy a $1000 original and use it to make make copies that might fool 90% of the people or I could buy a $10 Slavei and fool 80% of the fools out there. Do the math. Peter Rosa made fakes from Becker originals. Paduans of Renaissance masters were 'aftercast' for centuries and still may be in production somewhere. I suspect stealing designs from Slavey is considered quite normal in some circles so we should not be surprised to see 'aftercasts' of his as well. I do know that the Slavey's I bought for $4 each 20 years ago are being sold openly as what they are for at least 5 times the price which is a better rate of return than my real stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
