Ok, enlighten me on what's fake on it, I don't know these very well.

Thanks, D/P.  I have seen that web page before, but I didn't remember the URL.

Friends don't let friends buy fake phones.

When I bought mine the website wasn't very well known, and I asked for advice, and no one knew for sure.

Well, FWIW, (no pun) w/o that info I probably would have been taken too.

I've added WE parts to mine, so except for the base and stem mine is all WE now
Total cost me about $200.00 which includes the original price. If someday I run across the correct stem and base I may buy them.

A reproduction frankinphone. The body of the telephone and the receiver appear to be British. Fake WE parts added
