Fake and Copy
This has always existed but there was a resurgence after the bicentennial of 1998 with parts made in France, Belgium, Maghreb, Asia and today Eastern countries. Also for the uninitiated, do not rely on junk shops, antique dealers, auction rooms because also if there is or no expertise and many fake & copy are sold.

Caution on internet auction sites (Ebay, Catawiki,...) which sometimes offer much in the old saying parts Longwy to basic prices do not correspond with the reality of the market. Or still photos that are of poor image quality in the digital age and smartphone. Also to know that to deceive the buyer, these scammers also sell real in the lot. But also photos without the mark on the back of the object and that can already say a lot ...

In any case, require an invoice specifying the authenticity of the piece, its dating, its provenance and, failing the invoice, a certificate on his honor with a copy of the identity card of the seller which will allow you to return if you notice the scam at the reception.

A oday, with new technologies, copies as false becoming more realistic either shapes, designs and trademarks ... Buy a piece without having the hands if you're not a connoisseur see expert is a risk this days ...

Warning because sometimes some true contemporaries are sometimes more false than true !

You have a doubt about an object in Longwy, ask me for an expertise.
