master forger

Expert signature copier

A master forger is someone highly skilled at creating convincing fakes—whether documents, signatures, artworks, or currency.

The term acknowledges expertise while condemning the act: The painting fooled experts for decades before a master forger confessed.

Master forger can also describe someone who excels at metalworking forgery, though this sense is rare.
