STIGA CHINA VERIFICATION SYSTEM as easy as 1-2-3... (somewhat)
One
Go to Stiga China's website here http://www.stigasports.cn/ and click on the top right link as shown below.
Two
Verify which sticker you have on the product you want to verify.
There are three options: old one shown at the bottom part, the newer one shown on the top left, and the newer one shown at the top right. If you do happen to get the newer one on the left, and you can't read Chinese, you're screwed! Why? Because some goofballs
decided to make use of Chinese captcha instead of numbers/alphabets. You will need to get someone to read/translate the captcha for you and the solution, in the photo shown the captcha shown is: 5+6= (they even mixed the use of Simplified and Traditional Chinese in the same captcha!)
Now what's the different between the two newer ones? As far as I know (not 100% confirmed): the one on the right is for blades, the one on the left for everything else. Why do I make that assumption? Because on the right one, you will see product serial numbers (shown in Purple color) below the scratch part. This product number should match with the number on the box of the blade as shown in the photo below.
I purchased blade case and it matches the authentication on the newer left one without the product serial number, just the scratch part.
A side note: Stiga China's implementation on the product serial number is half measure in my opinion. I would just say this is a cost cutting measure (read: being a scrooge).They (all brands) should follow Butterfly in this regard, product serial numbers etched on the blade and printed directly on the box, not stickers.

Okay, let's start. Use this blade for example. Scratch-scratch-scratch...
Do the 1-2-3 on the top right one.
Four
If you are careful in entering both numbers and captcha then you should see this. This is what you should get if your product is genuine!
Copy paste the result to Google Translate and you should see the result in your language. Of course they would botch up the translation, but you should see something in the line of authentic/genuine wording.
You're done! Don't forget to seal your Stiga blade, less you'll be sorry. You've been warned! 8)
Five
Now what happens if you re-check the numbers again? You would see this result as shown below.
Check the time, verify if this was you checking previously. If not, you could ask the seller if they did it before and ask whether they could provide the screenshot of the first result.
What I usually do is that, right before I send the product to the buyer, I would do this verification, make a screenshot, and then send it to the buyer. That way the buyer and see that the product has been cleared/passed authentication, and that the buyer has the documentation if later he's selling it to another person.
Six
Now what happens if you get a fake one? Let's do a try out. I put in the same number as before but change the last digit, and see what happens next.
You will see this, if you entered a number that's not in the system (read: fake). Or, hopefully, you just mistype and entered wrong digit somewhere.
Recheck and verified again.
If you still get this result, you're reaping some bad karma... Ha!
Additional stuff
Sometimes you'll see a couple of these:
Server is busy, try again later
Entered wrong captcha, get your glasses and try again Grandpa!
That's all folks!
Let me know if you want to post them elsewhere.
