Mughal Armor- Can it be genuine?

Rand, you are not rambling, you tell it as it is, and I am glad you do. There are a lot of copies made, of all kinds of weapons, and some of these copies are aged, not necessary by the maker but mostly by someone else, and this is a problem as the knowledge of aging has reached a high where you need to be a specialist, and to have the weapon in your hand to tell the difference – and even then some can be fooled.

I find your mail very interesting, and will read it again to morrow.
