Counterfeit Armor Offered to Collectors
Collectors face fake medieval armor as genuine stock runs low. The Metropolitan Museum of Art counters fraud with a two reel film showing how to spot a tin suit. Laymen learn a knight’s coat of chain weighed about 30 pounds and a full suit weighed less than a World War I doughboy’s pack. Some chain mail links total a quarter of a million while rust and aging are used to age fakes. Some dealers display bogus pieces in old castles to deceive buyers. Armor centers were Milan and Augsburg.
