Ernst, there's actually a large market for European antique reproductions. www.myarmoury.com focus quite a bit of discussion on them. To me, "forgery" only comes into play if a reproduction is held out as an original antique. Sandeep has been candid about what he's doing. |

Yes, I can do the reproduction or re-nactmant in koftgari art
i.e gold and silver inlay art . we have been involved in this arms and armors field for around 300 years. We can make the copy of antique swords,daggers,knives,armour-set etc but we do not produce wootz blades as we lost the art but my elder brother is working on wootz. Is anyone Know Koftgari technique? If dont i can teach the koftgari art to those who are intereted in learning this art I have made my website of new koftgari articles www.freewebs.com/ancientart/ I have uploaded only few pics other is underconstruction |

Dear Andrew,
" To me, "forgery" only comes into play if a reproduction is held out as an original antique. Sandeep has been candid about what he's doing." I agree that he is clear about his economics. However, I wonder if the "antique reproduction" objects created by Sandeep do the same thing? Meaning, do the objects that he and his crew produce truly state that the object is a reproduction? To simplify, are these objects marked as being fake, not the real antique thing? I bet they are not. Therefore in my humble opinion objects as Sandeep's "antique reproductions" are the nightmares of all collectors. Unless the objects are marked as being a reproduction (should be a simple stamp on the blade or what?). Dear Sandeep, do you mark that your objects are in fact reproductions? I do not directly accuse Sandeep of forgery though if he does not clearly mark his produce as being "a repoduction" his produce are a pest for us collectors. Kind regards, Ernst. |

Dear Ernest
As I already described that we only do Koftgari reproduction and not blade as we use new damascus blade. We do not mark our objects as a fact reproduction as it already shows a new koftgari objects. Whatever we produce, the objects itself shows that this is a new production. I guess collectors and expertise can easilly differentiate between fake and original. Regards Sandeep |
