I have the winning ebay bid on mitutoyo 6" calipers. $55 canadian. These are currently in the mail. Need to know how to id these from genuine mitutoyo? I will not have to pay return shipping if proof that they are counterfeit.

I plan to get ahold of mitutoyo for verification about possible counterfeits. They would know the proof that I would need.
This thread is also an awareness to future buyers about these likely counterfeit mitutoyo calipers.

you know the story, if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't. I'd rather get one of the mm/in/frac calipers from HF (working fine on my XY table) or stump up a little extra for an iGaging caliper, which has done sterling service over the last 18mths. Why go to the hassle of returns and so on when you can get something that will do the job just fine for less money?
 
Mitutoyo has a web page with some pics detailing genuine vs counterfeits, they are NOT happy about China counterfeiting their products.
