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" [url]http://www.cricketsupplies.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20423&whichpage=4[/url] However my bat says 'ENGLISH WILLOW MADE IN INDIA UNDER LICENCE", and Made in India on the handle Photo: http://imgur.com/FL3hH http://imgur.com/17rFS 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 Photos of scoops of GM website: http://www.gm-cricket.com/range/adult_bats/luna-dxm.aspx My bat: http://imgur.com/vBq5b http://imgur.com/NV9UY http://imgur.com/vA5lB 3. No coating at all, just raw wood with no Protec protective sheet on the face or edges. Photos: http://imgur.com/1CODo http://imgur.com/oKmXW 4. Stickers on the back top are not applied well and are crinkled. Photos: http://imgur.com/qQMZj http://imgur.com/UYYQS 5. No Toetek sticker on the bottom Photos: http://imgur.com/LgRcy http://imgur.com/AH9zN 6. Poor quality finish on the shoulders Photos: http://imgur.com/MDiE3 http://imgur.com/i4mA1 7. Poor quality rubber casting of the GM logo on the grip Photo: http://imgur.com/D9Aei 8. Bottom profile on the toe seems thinner than other photos on the net Photos: http://imgur.com/1CODo http://imgur.com/c9h5j 9. GM Hologram? Other GM bats I have seen on the web do not have this hologram. Photo: http://imgur.com/FL3hH The full album of pics is here: http://imgur.com/a/79OgM 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! [/quote]
