Beware
of imitations of the Genuine Products.
Apart
from the obvious difference in the poor quality of the imitations.
We
recommend that when purchasing, you look for one of the following
tips to help ensure authenticity.
A
Makers Name or Logo.
A
Certificate of Authenticity.
Echt
( Original ) Erzgebirge
Made
In Germany.
The
Rider on Horseback.
As
far as we know almost every genuine item has at least one of the above. |

The
photos left show two Smoky Men, the one on the left produced by KWO
the one on the right a poor quality imitation.
KWO
has recently won a seven year legal battle to prevent the import of
just one particular product. ( The full story can be found via a link
on our Blog )

The
above is just one item, there are imitations of many styles of Smoky
Men, the problem is huge.
Apart
from the Smoky Men, you will find imitations of Nutcrackers,
Christmas Pyramids, Candle Arches, Tree Decorations and Music Boxes
amongst other items.
In
this country, for some time now we have had so called "German
Christmas Markets" unfortunately, a poor imitation of the real
thing in Germany. More disturbing is the fact that they are called
German Christmas Markets, which we feel is misleading the public into
thinking, understandably, that the items on sale will be German, Wrong... |
