The favourite forger in the minds of most people was Olaf Ohman. If he
didn't do it then it is much more difficult to identify a potential
forger. If one's forger remains no more than a hypothesis, built
around an unknown person, for the existence of whom there is no
evidence, then it is that much harder to claim the stone is a forgery.
