Me too. It didn't look like an old K, and the stamp looked something strange.
but I didn't doubt it's a fake. I was thinking it's impossible, so people there might be too. The preconceptions made me dull.

I know very little about Zildjian cymbals, but even to me the cymbal in that photo screams "forgery". I mean, really - ZILOJIAN? Wouldn't Zildjian have had a permanent stamper, as opposed to one with rotating letters like a Dymo tape gun that could accidentally be turned to the wrong spelling?
This kind of reminds me of the "ROLLEX" watch I bought for $7 from a guy in a parking lot once.

and who made it? Is it joke? why "O"Laughing H
yeah, this is actually a big problem now, right?
Anybody know where are the cymbals now?
oh, it's a good news! Kiss

Granted, it's not a clear shot, but I recognize the lathing from the other thread. Also, note the distance between "K Zildjian & Co" and "Istanbul". I've never seen them apart like that on any New Stamp, have you?
