<p>[QUOTE="andy_india, post: 2466022, member: 15884"]Agree on this, specially the items from China/Hong kong etc. What about UK/US sellers? Also another aspect is there are items which can be mirrored easily for example: Neolithic arrow heads, which they claim to be recovered from Sahara desert and all of that. Most of them just doesn't seem to be true and also there are no ways to validate. But what about some Roman/Viking/Greek war relics/oil lamps/fibula/bronze statues/ear rings/Jesus cross pendants etc. I look at those pictures very carefully (even if I don't buy) and with my little knowledge I don't think it's easy to make a repro, but I also agree terracotta figurines are most vulnerable for being fake cause we the buyers mostly don't have the required tools/knowledge for their age detection but of course there are exceptions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
