  1. The "Double Stamp" Fake: Forgers add a Type 1 rollmark to a later slide. Look for ghosting or inconsistent font depth. Genuine Type 1 marks are light. If it’s deep and crisp, it’s likely fake.
  2. Offset FJA: The genuine FJA stamp is always in a neat, rectangular box. If the box is missing, or the letters are not perfectly aligned, be suspicious.
  3. Mismatched Serial Number Font: Remington Rand used standard, non-serif number stamps. If the serial number has serifs (little feet on the numbers), it is a forgery.
