Default 1908 Fake Navy?

I noticed a 1908 Navy for sale by a dealer who does not specialize in Lugers. It appears to be a minty example. However, it has the "floating crown" proofs which we have often seen on the 1916 and 1917 navies made in the northern US. Have any of you seen other fake 1908's? This is new to me. I hesitate to give the name of the dealer for the same reason that no one on this site wants to mention the person who manufactures these fakes though we all know who he is. Seems to me it would be harder to fake a long frame Navy.
