    Indeed, I thought it was a "went too far with homage" to active counterfeit when I saw the dialog there. I searched for the review but couldn't find it and your link isn't live.

    I'd buy it if it wasn't Lamy branded.
    Homage = good, knockoff = bad

    Hard to tell. I don't even trust the images. Some look like actual copied Lamy images. Others look like photos of an unbranded clone. One reviewer's photo has "Lamy" on the nib, but it is clearly a fake Lamy. This is a mish-mash of different kinds of images. Send it to Lamy....

    The fact that they are calling the pen, dialog, pushes the pen into the fake category. Over and beyond stealing from companies, fake goods frequently involve organized crime and all the ills that go along with it. Even though these are cheap Chinese pens the company behind it could also be selling fake Coach bags, fake Rolex watches, running prostitution and drug operations, etc. etc. Homage is one thing, fake is another.
