Heavy Weaponry canvas - real or not , by Hubble Bubble on Mar 8, 2017 11:35:37 GMT 1, I don't quite understand all of this although I've not looked too closely. If the COA and canvas are genuine, the seller says 'the COA and canvas are genuine' and it's priced accordingly. If they are not genuine, then look for the seller to make some kind of 'I'm not sure, buy at your own risk' statement. Which is exactly what seems to be the case here. For me, the words 'very long barge pole' spring to mind. (with apologies to forum members not educated in the ways of English colloquialisms). I wouldn't touch it with yours.

Now you mention it, if you look at a lot of the details on a real one this one seems quite off (edges are all rounded off and more simple... the back left leg especially)

Heavy Weaponry canvas - real or not , by covertshadowops on Mar 8, 2017 12:43:52 GMT 1, Interesting that it doesn't say tagged on the overlap which most COA's would.
mine HW, is the exact same way, but far more detailed in the stencil / spraying and my COA reads "tagged on the right side overlap"

Not weird at all, it's just someone thinks we were all born yesterday.

(also asked about provenance, where it came from, how long he'd had it - zip, zero, silence)

You'll get flagged as non-paying winner and possible suspension...

Heavy Weaponry canvas - real or not , by Sliding on the Walls on Mar 8, 2017 13:46:38 GMT 1, If that is a fake it's very well done.
The seller makes no mention of where they bought it - usually you can trace back the paper trail to the original owner.

Heavy Weaponry canvas - real or not , by Deleted on Mar 8, 2017 15:03:05 GMT 1, Ok...decided to give it a go and see how difficult it would be to reproduce. I would really hate to see someone get taken by something like this.
** can not guarantee authenticity ;-)
Honestly. Without POW verification of the piece and COA I don't know why anyone would take the risk.
- Download an online image (there are plenty).
- Print the stencil on thick paper and cut.
- spray over a piece of watercolor paper in one of my sketchbooks.
The result...ยฃ50k I guess...

That said its fairly simple if do feel inclined to bid. Simply do not pay until you confirm ownership details with PC. Even then I would insist on paypal payment having discussed the transaction with them first to make sure there are no loopholes.

You are absolutely right. Took an insane amount of time and effort on my part. Requires an absolute surgical level of precision!! Don't even get me started on the paper cuts! ;-)

... not condoning, just a thought ... it is good to highlight these suspect sales on the Forum ...
