Today I'm again joined by Professor Ben Nicholson, author of the newest Headstamp Publishing book, Clockwork Basilisk. We are discussing the different sorts of fake and reproduction Collier revolvers, although the subject is pertinent to many other highly desirable antiques. A few of the points considered:
- Fraud for profit vs reproduction homage
- Value of fakes
- Faking pre- and post-internet
- Provenance and its importance

Whilst I would love a working reproduction, five grand is just a bit more than I'm willing to pay for a pistol that wouldn't see much use.

plus the ones unknown that could be out there.... I'd be under the "could never afford originals but ok with a copy". 5grans for a copy?! wow! serious... sure tempting to make cash with a copy.

This is a kind of experimental archaeology, very interesting.
