Cobra Forged Tec irons purchased from quickgolfshop on eBay. Counterfeit?

[foxrich]

I just bought a set of Cobra Forged Tec irons (the older model, not the 2020 model) from eBay through quickgolfshops. At the time, I had tunnel vision and was just really excited, but as time has gone on and I started reading stories and reviews, I'm afraid these clubs might be fake. The main thing I have noticed is that the distinct King lettering on the club back that should be orange, is not colored, but a silver color in the pictures. the rest of the photos look promising, but I am highly skeptical at this point. I dont know how to add pictures on this post ( I will if someone can instruct me how to). Should I cancel the order or wait to see how they look when they arrive?

Ok here are two of the images posted on the listing.

Looks like the seller used acetone to remove the orange...pretty common.

[foxrich]

Why would they do that though?

[JasonPetermann]

They don't like orange.

You think everything is okay but the painttfill? That's the LEAST likely thing the counterfeiters would screw up.

 

[foxrich]

That’s the first thing that jumped out at me. Otherwise I think they look good, unless you can see something I can’t. Any input is appreciated! I have other photos as well

[RobertPaulson]

I think you're clear - not much ROI in faking those irons

I did it to my old set of tecs. Kinda miss them.

Legit! I took the paint fill off of mine too. Can’t stand Clemson :)

They look better without the orange. Send the seller an extra five bucks.

What model Ogio bag is that? I like the top organizer. Is it a carry or cart bag?

[mikewohlwend]

Look like the silencer. Which I think you can get in cart or carry.

OP...I am guessing you meant quickship golf on eBay? Quite a few threads on wrx on them with tons of satisfied customers. Including me.

[tomuch23]

It is the last edition cart bag with the silencer top which I absolutely love. Wife wants one now but they are impossible to find(this style) so she may be getting a revolver instead.

I doubt anyone is going to fake an iron that barely sold on their own

Quickshipolf? is usually ok. I've noticed some suspicious practices with bidding patterns and they list irons sets 4-pw at times, but forget to disclose the fact that the 7 iron is missing. You can get some pretty good deals from them though

Oh man. Occam's Razor at it's finest! I'm still laughing!
