How do I identify genuine CW bars?

[Moose]

Just wondering what the differences are between originals and copies

i have both 1 set from my original bike .and a copy set i can flow over them in the morning if no luck.

hmm ..ive thought this on cw bars to ..i imported a cw bike from the states with  cw bars on it (apperntly) but there are no markings on the bars..just a cw sticker..which doesnt really prove anything

i also have a spare set of cw freestyle bars..i bought them as genuine cw bars from the states,but there are no markings on them either..they look proper though..but still are they real

This any use 



Maybe its the knurling that makes them real , the copies i have don't have knurling but my genuine ones did

could be the knurling..as my cw freestyle bars are 'knurled' well (all across where the stem would clamp the bars)

but my cw pro bars are 'half knurled' (on the outside but not in the middle )

would have been better if they were stamped cw though you'd think.....that would be to easy though

its to do with the  knurling phil.
if im not mistaken.
both proper sets i've had.
both had the knurling split in the middle where the stem goes.
plus the welds are neat.

Sounds about right - mine are copies then 

Thanks for the help all

Peugeot did a pair of bars made from reynolds 531, they looked like ceedubs but without the knurl
