Possibly... the kid i got em off thought they were Hutch because of the sticker and said if they're not they're GT or Kuwahara (he's had em from new) but with the Japan stamp I'm guessing that rules Hutch and GT out !

Ian at Natsukashi might be able to confirm if they're Nitto. Nice-looking bars whatever they are! :daumenhoch:

Mmm, if I didn't know any better I'd say they were Kuwahara laser bars without the kuw stamp. They are almost certaintly Nitto though judging by the date stamp

I can't tell you the date as Nitto really don't want anyone to decode their date stamps. Its kind of a guarded secret and when I asked for the formula it was denied!

Why do you think that is? To make it harder for people to pass off copies as genuine Nittos?

The next time you go over to Nitto I think you need to get them really drunk and then ask!! Talking of which, we need to catch up soon! :daumenhoch:
