One fake I have yet to be solicited by the importers to buy.

There is a good site on fakes though.

How to not get taken, buy a number 10 it's too common and not profitable
enough to fake. If you're in the market for a number 13 buy from a
reputable dealer and pay with a credit card. As with 99% of fakes,
unauthorized reproductions and fantasy pieces the fakes are easy to spot
when you know how the real deal feels and looks. It really only takes a
bit of observation and touch to figure out which are real and which are
not.
