Jack Heuer has reviewed photos of a variety of these Mappemondos, and confirmed that they were not made by Heuer.

To me, that's "case closed" / end of the discussion.

: Hi; and I recently purchased a Heuer Mappamondo....and it wasn't
: cheap. Everything about this one looks so good - including the
: movement. I've heard so many 'stories' about these...I don't
: know what to believe.
: Are they real? When were they made [if not real]. Can anyone tell
: me beyond a doubt as to whether they are authentic or not?
