<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Touchdry, post: 1069005, member: 12381&quot;]Having done a little research I have found what could be unfortunate for any prospective buyers of Fantechi. It appears that Asian copyists used his mark to produce cheap &#039;copies&#039;. Apparently, one can tell an original by the top quality work ... these plates are nowhere near as good as the ones I have seen online. Also the copyists mark tended to be a weak lined version of his mark - which is a compass (or calipers) in a shield. I&#039;ll dig a little deeper. Perhaps, say it slowly, you can give an honest opinion as to whether you think my photographed plate really is one of his ... or whether it might be an imposter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
