New Nentico Lodge #12 FAKE
Posted in 
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. | ||
