I recently bought a Corbusier LC4 from a guy that had originally bought it in the 60s (possibly 70s). It is REALLY hard to tell if it is fake!
There are no signatures, only snaps on the leather straps that say 'FIOCCHI ITALY'.
Can anyone help?

maybe -
but first we would need some photos/ more info. partly because we really like to look at photos of these sorts of things, even if we have seen them thousands of times.

I think . . . .
I think that the ones made by Cosina are stamped on the chrome "cosina," but I was just told that and have not seen it.

Cassina that is...
The Cassina LC4 does bare marks of "originality". There is an engraving with the signature of LeCorbusier and a tag of the logotype "Cassina i Maestri"
which incorporates the emblem as used by him as identification on his drawings.

Oh word?
I'm an idiot and need to look up the spelling of things before I post. That's what I get for trying to participate in the forum and study.
Thanks for the correction and some insight on the subject.
