Mock ups/Dummies/ etc
As the real kit dries up it will be replaced by "mock ups" a sad state of affairs indeed.
It can already be difficult enough to sniff out a "real" article without the counteirfiters getting more sophisticated with C.N.C. machines and the like, and as they get more difficult to find so the price goes up and it then becomes a viable proposition to have a "production run" on a machine.
