Posted on a FB page. The head of the Monte does not look right.

Thoughts? The Montecristo band doesn't look embossed, even from a two-dimensional photo. It looks like a facsimile of a current Montecristo band.

I wasn’t sure from the not so focused picture. The color of brown also doesn't look dark enough of enough gloss IMO,

Looks suspect to me.

The Flor de lis looks wrong also. 
thanks

The band is 100% fake. Incorrect font is a hallmark of fake Monte bands going back 25 years. Not like real Monte bands are hard to come by, but most fakers have no eye for detail and they consistently choose not to use genuine bands.

Not even. A facsimile or scan/copy would at least retain the correct font. This font is different in style. 

I can't tell you how many times I've seen it on fake Monte bands.
