I posted about similar bars on this subform a few years ago. I'd have to dig up the thread. Here are the photos of the fake, along with it being tested in a Sigma machine (it failed), and side by side with a real bar.

The fake piece in this news article looks to be of poorer quality than the one I encountered. The font on the bar looks quite bad.

Pictures here since Photobucket doesn't allow embedding anymore for free accounts.

Please excuse my ignorance, but What is a SIGMA machine?

It's a portable, poor man's XRF.
