I would go further and say that if you make a reproduction, you should
mark it as such in some clear, readily detectible and indelible way in
order to avoid facilitating its use by some unscrupulous individual to
perpetrate a fraud. Sooner or later those items will fall into the hands
of someone with no ethics or morals, only to be sold off to a trusting
enthusiast. It happens in fine art & antiques circles all the time.
