Fake K's

Can't see much of the Arabic, but other than the misspelling, the rest of the stramp does look like a new stamp, as your pointed out. It makes me wonder why they couldn't get Zildjian spelled correctly to complete the illusion of a proper stamp.

Actually there's several other things that aren't quite right with this stamp. I'll refer you to the Cymbalholic thread for most of them.

Possibly, the name was intentionally misspelled to not infringe upon any trademarks, and still hopefully swindle some people thinking they are getting the real thing. Ever see Folex watches before? Maybe this is something along the same lines.

I'll look more carefully today. I compared it to both your original timeline pictures and my own newer new stamp. But...I did this at almost 4 AM and I was quite tired. I did think the shape of the ampersand might have been a bit off and there was a lot of space between K. Zildjian & Co and Istanbul. Giving it a quick look right now I also realize the words Istanbul and Zildjian don't line up properly under the word Zildjian in K. Zildjian & Co.. This was just a cursory glance. I'm guessing I may see more.
