This is the first time I've seen one with the crown etching on the crystal (although it looks far too big and incorrectly positioned to my eye) - is that starting to commonly appear on the fakes now?

The latest counterfeits are using crystals that are nearly perfect LEC.

Absolutely NOT.
We are here to help people not be duped. Not reveal all the reasons.

Just post photos and we all try to help.
But please dont ask for lists!
