Yes, I saw that on their website along with some lady head German bass selling as French with an old false label they are trying to sell off as original. They just don't seem to know the difference between real and not.

I have a killer sounding Lamy here but I would suggest you come here to play it and take it back. This bass has a real professional museum grade restoration, not a repair job just to put it back in the rack and get it sold. Any bass you buy from a shop usually has restorations less than you would have had done had you been able to contract the work yourself. Therefore, it has to be done over, better, or remain a sub-par repaired bass.
