I have a black leather chair which I think is a Wassily Model 3 Bauhaus. It has 'Made in Italy' stamped on the bottom of the seat and what looks like 'PB3'. How can I tell if it is authentic?

Tie it up and throw it in the water. If it sinks, its real. If it floats, its fake and should be tied to a stake and burned.
Others on this forum may have a less destructive means of determining authenticity.
