I have never heard that Danes in Greenland were offered faked 

 antiquities. On the other hand, imitations, natural size, of old 

 implements no longer in use are often offered for sale. But it is 

 always by persons who are regarded by their countrymen as experts 

 in "old objects", and not the least attempt is made to pretend that 

 they are anything else than what they really are. But many stories are 

 told about all the faked antiquities which a few years ago were 

 sold — together with some genuine objects — to some foreign 

 collectors who were both inexperienced as regards these objects and 

 too eager in their demands.
