WOW. Considering the trouble they went to to fake it, you would have thought they would had spelled Zildjian correctly. Also the Arabic script is, of course, missing altogether and the spacing is so tight there isn't enough room for it anyway. Hope no one buys it. My French is weak, but based on what I was able to understand, this cymbal sounds like a "keeper"! :-)
Obviously fake, and certainly not a very good job. But somebody who didn't know their stuff might fall for it. That's all it takes.
The seller didn't go for a 22" old stamp, which is where you would get the most money. As far as the Zilojian goes, it might just be that the trademark police (such as they are these days) may not be able to spring into instant action because of the misspelling. I'm not really up with the state of play with these matters. Maybe that slows the process down slightly.
Any guesses as to what it was before it was a Zilojian, Mark?
