PART III

Again, please use this guide as a reference only and not as a sole means of verifying the authenticity of goods. I take no responsibility on how you use this guide. This guide can not be referenced in any claim (of any sort).

Belt:
1. Notice the shape of the belt tails (or ends) (what is in common)
2. Pay attention to the type of belts that have markings on the leather strap and which ones do not.
3. Where are these engravings or markings located  (near the tails = bad) (no engravings = ok , engravings in the middle with stars = good )
         • Reversible belts tend not to have any engravings/markings on leather straps
         • Ferragamo puts details such as : where the belt was made (with one star) and serial number on its engravings on leather strap. 
           Pay close  attention to how these markings look. 
         • Quite often these engravings are ink stamps. Engraving or embossing the leather is quite rare. 

4. Look at the belt holes, the should be round and clean cut.
