Start with matching the serial on the racket with the serial on the box.

looks good, I'm just looking at the big and small butterfly wings in the handle and wonder why they didn't update that part to the new same size wings like on the bottom of the blade

Fake !! The silver emblem is wrong (not smooth) and the plastic insert is crooked.

Who is the supplier? Is it the BTY appointed dealer in your region?

I believe it´s fake.
You can see one type of logo in the stamp and other type (new) in the bottom plate. As far as I know, when this new logo was introduced, the Arylate-Carbon lens was changed for a small green lens.

Appears genuine.
Those Viscarias starting with the letter "P" still have the second r missing in the word performance, come with the new handle and new silver tag, but with old round lens on the back with the uneven Butterfly logo. The only thing odd with this one is the alphanumeric code, which is much closer to the blade edge than many others. |

The 'wrinkled' appearance at the bottom of the handle is a dead give away. Just ask the OP if the new blade came with a box and match the serial number.

That wrinkled appearance is the plastic film over the tag.

The silver tag is poorly made and obviously fake. I think the OP knows the truth.

For me it is authentic. The viscarias wityh letter P was at the big change of the butterfly blades. Butterfly changed emblem and then changed the back greek round little label from the old carbon-arylate label.
Friend for me it is authentic but yours was on the change. For me it is one of the new rares too  So hard to find this "marriage of the old with the new".I have a Korbel like this.

That means nothing. Does the serial number on the blade match the box ?
