How would even know if you received a "clone" (aka "counterfeit") product?

Yeah, can you imagine being the sucker that spent $50,000.00 for a fake platinum Rolex? It happens everyday, and a fake $50.00 flashlight copy would up set me just as much!

You have 3 billion people in a country who don't care anything (Oh, I forgot to say China), about the designs that come from the west, which they could ever come up with on their own knowledge. But what the heck R & D is nothing, right?

Always buy from known people and dealers.

The Soviets stole every aircraft design they ever had from the United States. Reverse engineering, Cold War style! Flashlights are one thing, let's do a poll on who wants to hop on an Aeroflot flight to Moscow?
