Respectable museums are chock full with fake Rembrands, the European section of the Wallace Collection has been found to have fake armour
sets and complex weapons.
How difficult, do you think, would be to fake a simple iron bar? Bury it for a couple of years and ... Voila!

I am becoming paranoid at my age, but professional offence always beats good defense.
