Desmond's Counterfeit Stainless Steel Constellations article

Zman4eva · Feb 15, 2024

I finished reading Desmond's article on fake 14k gold Constellation cases and was going to read the stainless steel article. Does anyone have a copy of Desmond's Counterfeit Stainless Steel Constellations article? I tried to download it but the link is dead.

I always hoped that the material on Desmond's site would one day be put in a book.

Yep. Hopefully everything is being archived. Otherwise we'll have a repeat of the Ranfft database.

I successfully followed this link. The document is in pdf and downloadable.
Shaking my head, Does this mean an extract is almost needed for any Pie Pan? I am assuming that the couterfeiters have taken note of Desmond's observations and have made the necessary revisions.

I really doubt there's enough money in it for counterfeiters to keep making improvements. The market demand for Constellation pie pans is relatively small. The ones who know what to look for aren't getting fooled and the ones that don't know can't tell the difference anyway.
