seems like the symmetry/ratio is off?  the handle is too thin at the base, and flares out too much, in addition to what looks like poor quality workmanship?

I have both fake and genuine and the fake is plain obvious. Plys are of different thickness, bottom badge is rough, logo is not in shinny gold...etc. But a friend of mine who knows little about equipment bought 2 viscaria with rubber in a shop in China for his sons recently. They are about RMB400 each, with Black T05 and Red H3. The T05 is obviously fake, H3 is harder to tell. But what surprised me is the Viscaria. The handle is poorly made like always but all other area match up exactly like my genuine Viscaria. All plys match up with exact same thickness and look. Can't even tell from the lense and the bottom badge. If one day China can duplicate the handle as well, which I think is not mission impossible, then many more buyers will be in trouble.

Also the shop even gave my friend a 6 pack of 3 stars DHS balls for free which are also fakes. You can feel the seam by your finger!

Hello friends, what do you think of this Viscaria ?

Is it a real Viscaria or another fake?
