Who knows? I haven't examined all of them and don't know anybody that has. I have only encountered one that I know is a fake, one that I suspect is a fake, two other examples where there are two guns with the same serial number (ergo, one is a fake ), two that I know have been restored and some that I suspect have been restored or "touched up" but genuine none-the-less. So I gues that I would say that on the whole there probably aren't as many fakes as originals, but hang around, they may be gaining!
