If you notice there is a part of the zephyr which says "authentic",
"unauthentic" or "forged". It is very hard to fake a zephyr which will also
have the label "authentic". This is the best way to tell if a zephyr is real.
Not all unauthentic zephyrs are faked though. Some people choose to send
zephyrs without authenication.
