Real Stiga Dynasty Xu Xin Edition?

[BaRanchik]

A friend of mine found this blade just lying in his house, no idea where it came from.
Wondering if this one is a real or a fake, given neither of us know where it was bought from.

I own two Stiga Dynasty Carbon and both of my blade surfaces are the same color as the handle. The surface looks strange to me...

The shape of the neck of the blade is also a little suspect

the colour could be from varnish

have you tried asking/emailing Stiga?

It is definitely varnished, but I have never seen another one myself so maybe it really is a fake.

have you tried asking/emailing Stiga?

Thanks for the suggestion, I just emailed them. Hopefully they can help me, since I really doubt it was bought straight from them.

I'm sceptical, because it is also (much) darker on the handle image (3) compared to images in the web and the ones I have at home... varnish would not do this at these places...

 

[superbackhand]

if it has the lime/ lavender smell it is fake.
where is your friend’s house?

asking for a friend…

it looks fake, there are shops selling the fake Xu xin for only 25$

I am almost certain that its fake.

The colors can look very different on pictures depending on lighting, camera, camera setting, angle etc. .
The surface is probably sealed.
But still looks a little bit too dark.

The main reason I would say that its fake is the fact that the printing is off.
"Master" should be closer to the handle.
The signature should not be that high up, it should be in the lower half, not upper half of the head.
Textreme+ also closer to the handle and "Master" tag.

Yeah, very good points. Looked up other blades and the one I have here definitely has different text positions, fonts and text sizes.

Shame! But oh well... Not mine either way.

 

[Giangt]

It is a fake blade. Text is way off compared to the original.

 

[Stella]

I pulled out my own to compare, and this doesn't look like a real one to you
我拿出自己的来比较，这对你来说看起来不像是真的

would it be because of the glue marks?

Also the blue metalic label with name and picture should be other way round, for a left hand player like Xu Xin.
