New Nentico Lodge #12 FAKE

Posted in NE-4C Lodges, Nentico 12 by Dave Scocca on April 9th, 2008 at 9:46 am

Yesterday I posted elsewhere about the discovery of a new faker selling on eBay. The faker is selling out of Germany under the name patch--world (with two hyphens).

This morning I found the patch pictured here, a fake of the hard-to-find Nentico Lodge #12 X4. The most obvious difference between the fake and the real X4 is that the fake is computer-made and of modern manufacture. In addition, the arrowhead is significantly different: the X4 arrowhead is more rounded and has details where the head and shaft join, while the fake arrowhead is more pointed and lacks any details at the base of the arrowhead.

The fake will probably be categorized as the ZX1. The likely Blue Book information will be:

Issue Bdr Color/ Type Bkgd Name fdl/BSA Comments
ZX1? Blk C Wht Modern CD fake of “Nanticoke Builder” X4. Sharply pointed arrowhead without detail where head joins shaft.

"Numbers written on restaurant bills within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe.
This single statement took the scientific world by storm. It completely revolutionized it. So many mathematical conferences got held in such good restaurants that many of the finest minds of a generation died of obesity and heart failure and the science of math was put back by years."

    The same seller just posted a Tahosa 383 A-1. Like the Nentico Fake there are some details on the patch that has been over looked, such as the missing arrow behind the thunderbird. Tahosa Lodge Has been notified, and the word is slowly getting out.
