Fake Lincoln on the bay

[crbnSteeladdict]

Someone did some digging and I ended up with this info so I am sharing with you, guys. Looks like Antony Petrone is very busy laser etching new batch of counterfeits. Please compare what he bought to what he has sold. Worn Cayuga becomes Raven. Belknap becomes Wedgeway

I'm not 100 convinced that the wedgeway is that same axe linked ( it's still a fake ), but that B-R fake is definitely modified from that very axe linked.

It is not very hard to see it is the same head. He did not etch over Belknap maker's mark. He has just sanded it down. Take a look at the last ebay and second pic from auction house, choose very small area with random 3 pits and you will find coresponding ones on Patrone's fake

I couldn't identify any identical pits, but looking now I see that he etched it on the opposite side of the one he removed the original stamp from.
