Confirmed Counterfeit Kuwahara Laser Post

[BMX1973]

Different types of Kuwahara Laser Post..................

............could I ask my fellow BMX nerd's your opinions on these Laser Post’s, as to whether one is counterfeit, or were they made slightly different over the years?

One Post has “KUWAHARA LASER-POST” stamped on the side and “MAX HT 22.2 Cr Mo JAPAN” stamped at the base.

The other Post has “CR-MO KUWAHARA LASER-POST” stamped on the side and “MINIMUM INSERTION 22.2” stamped at the base.

Any help would be appreciated. I can e-mail pictures if you pm me your e-mail address.

Many Thanks

All the posts i've had have been stamp "KUWAHARA * LASER-POST” on the side and “MAX HT 22.2 Cr Mo JAPAN or Nitto JAPAN” stamped at the base.
Not seen one with Cr-Mo before the Laserpost Stamp.

Over the years the post and bars were made at different sources so not to say it aint a genuine one. Just be wary of stuff from Malasyia, etc on ebay. They have a habit of mass copying stuff. Some of the kuwie pads i've seen over the years are shocking.

Got my money back for Counterfeit ones I bought through PayPal. 

Basically for everyone out there, this is the inscriptions of a real post and a fake post:

A GENUINE Post has KUWAHARA LASER-POST stamped on the side and MAX HT 22.2 Cr Mo JAPAN stamped at the base. 

The COUNTERFEIT Post's that are going around at the moment have CR-MO KUWAHARA LASER-POST stamped on the side and MINIMUM INSERTION 22.2 stamped at the base. In addition the quality of the inscription is not that of an original. 

Thank you to everyone that has contacted me over this.

I've learnt a lot about Laser Post since this post.

Them Fake Laser Post's turn up all the time so be aware radster. Exspecially when some sellers put them in a frame to cover up the CR-MO wording before Laser Post then try and pass them off as real.
