FactoryProbableWhole production
Points of the correct relative length with the correct curvature between them, cleanly formed at the tips. The proportions are consistent across genuine production, which is what allows the comparison to work.
Emblem with wrong point geometry
CounterfeitProbableWhole production
The characteristic counterfeit error: points too fat, too uniformly symmetrical, or too sharply drawn. Because an enormous counterfeit apparatus exists around this emblem for the pens, the quality varies from crude to careful — and the careful ones still tend to regularise the geometry.
