Fake or Real Miura MC-501?

[schey123]

Hi Experts!

I need help Identifying if these Miuras I purchased on Ebay are the real deal? I think I got them for a decent price considering they are my first set of Miuras so I don't really have anything to compare them to. At first glance they look authentic except for on the hosel I notice that most MC-501's have the wording "Forged" on them. The ones I have in my possession have the words "Made in Japan". Not sure if there are other sets that have the same wording but any guidance would

be appreciated! Thanks for looking! I will post more pictures if needed!

Looks good. What is the ebay listing item number?

I just went into the USGA database and found this.

After speaking with Miura chat directly, looks like they made the change on the stamp from "Forged" to "Made in Japan" recently

My CB-801 and LH Miura wedges were purchased this year from an authorized dealer, and both have "Made in Japan" stamped on the necks. The pictures when I ordered all showed "Forged". They're real.

I can take a photo of the little certificate that comes with Miura heads this year and post it after I get to work today. They switched the hosel stamp to Made in Japan in early 2020. Those are the real McCoy.

Anyone know if the black MC 501’s were faked?

Have any cb301s been faked with made in Japan stamped yet?
