But not a modern fake.
c1985 when I was working at Thorn-EMI CRL I visited the HMV/EMI archive. It used to be run by a lovely lady called Ruth Edge. I was allowed to handle THE gramophone. I was also allowed to look though the files - the one about Caruso was huge and seemed to be mainly about money disputes. While Ruth Edge was a lovely archivist her trust in people was horribly abused. A few years after I was there, the son of a well respected historian, musicologist and restorer of recordings stole material from the EMI archive and sold it in Japan. Access was much reduced after that. I'll name no names but those of you in the BVWS at the time may well have read or heard about the incident.
