    If i'm not mistaken i believe Mr Saris has penned the odd tome which any library on the subject would be greatly enhanced by.

    UV light is just a tool. No more.
    Like many other tricks in the toolbox such as acetone testing painted items or the "burn test" on loose threads UV is a guide and will often unmask the worst fakes but as has been pointed out above, other checks / knowledge is also needed as sometimes UV will point to synthetics which do not mean fakes every time.

    A UV light should be in your aresenal of weapons but so should a good bookshelf and a head full of learning!

    Plus, use the forum, 100's of heads / opinions are better than one

    Confusing insn't it

    I hope this helps rather than adds to the problem

    Regards
