The Quran had been lying for many decades in Birmingham, forgotten. Forensics has moved on from the time this Quran was taken to Birmingham. I don't think it's a clever forgery. The forger could not have known about the future direction of forensics. Expect to see Hamza Tzortis and others tell their lackeys to "put their fingers in their ears and make the la-la sound".
I am reminded of the Topaki manuscript, I think it was (or was it the Sana'a manuscript), where earlier text of the Quran had been erased in favour of later text. Just because the fragments may contain "calligraphic script is characteristic of later inscriptions" does not mean they are from a later date. Further testing will determine if there was any prior writing on the fragment.
