Not sure if you're aware but someone is mass-producing fake antique refractors in India, more as lounge room ornaments of yuppies (the objectives are usually a single uncoated lens, and don't work BTW). Lots of shiny brass bits that look like they were cast from an original telescope, usually on a badly made (wobbly) wooden tripod.
Just don't make it too smooth/shiny or some will think its one of these !
