Hello Forum. First Post.
Are counterfeit Maglites an issue?
I lost my Maglite Solitaire that I've had since they were issued. I guess 25 years maybe? I went on Ebay for a replacement. There are giftsets, but there are a couple package variations among sellers. I know the Chinese are knocking off $10 items now. A genuine Casio goldtone WR digital watch is under 20 bucks, yet ebay is still full of knock-offs. Sandisk SD cards are another cheap item, that unless you buy them at Staples. You never know what you'll get. So it wouldn't surprise me if they were copying Mags too.
I posted some ebay links.

They're probably real just different runs. What do you think?
