Default Fake memorabilia auction thread.

I figures it might be good to have a thread where people can post items they feel are fake being posted fir sale accross the various selling websites.

I will start it off.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F333327045310

This seller has listed this as an original whistle from the 1940s being used by Bill Chadwick.
Why do i think its fake? Notice how the engraving is above all the scratches. If it were original, the scratches would go through the engraving as part of the wearing process. That plus the fact that in his history there multiple other whistles, cigarette cases, etc from some pretty rare events like the 1903 WS. Most sold pretty cheap. I dont k ow anything abiut the war stuff he is selling, but the sports items all look bogus to me.
