I just went through it wanting to look something up when I spotted some fakes, that made me wonder if anyone ever counted the fakes in Richter ?

might be worthwhile documenting which ones we, as vintage community, agree are fake

I'll start making some pics and page numbers but I wondered if anyone already done this

Very good idea. This should be a good thread.

There are a few. Don't have mine to hand right now, but the 806 towards the back that takes up half a page is a 'creation', although not an outright fake.

. . . when we had our April Fool's Day contest a few years back. I don't think we had many entries, but it was a start.
