Hi all,

I purchased a GM Luna 505 on ebay in Australia and I am concerned I have purchased a fake bat.

Here is some evidence:

1. English willow made in India?

Edward Lowy on this forum said "we have only ever made English Willow bats in Nottingham" http://www.cricketsupplies.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20423&whichpage=4

However my bat says 'ENGLISH WILLOW MADE IN INDIA UNDER LICENCE", and Made in India on the handle

2. On the back of the bat there are no 'scoops' under the two 'scoop' stickers - the back is a simple curve with no scoops as per the other photos and video I found online.
Video showing LUNA scoops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lgUt8VNbPk

3. No coating at all, just raw wood with no Protec protective sheet on the face or edges.

4. Stickers on the back top are not applied well and are crinkled.

5. No Toetek sticker on the bottom

6. Poor quality finish on the shoulders

7. Poor quality rubber casting of the GM logo on the grip

8. Bottom profile on the toe seems thinner than other photos on the net

9. GM Hologram? Other GM bats I have seen on the web do not have this hologram.

Can anyone else help me identify if this bat is a real English Willow GM Luna 505 or have I been ripped off and purchased a copy / fake bat?

Thanks!
