There is a difference between faking and BADGE ENGINEERING. These Boswells are not fakes they are simply the products of a company which has bought the name and by law are entitled to use the name. It has always been "caveat emptor" in business. As an example: Is a Miroku built Browning Auto 5 a fake Browning? Closer to the knuckle: is my 1978 Franchi AL48 a fake Browning? The Browning Patent had run out so no it is not a FAKE. I own 4 Boswells 1872, 1888, 1903 and 1929 - Boswell family control ended in 1944 and any post1944(SN18056 and up) require special consideration as to whether you are buying a 'real' Boswell.
