Matador Fake or Real?

[Gborgs01]

I don’t know enough about these to know if it’s fake or not.  Feels good.  Any experts out there give some feedback based on pics I have shown?  Very close to 11” which is only thing I know to check.

Looks real. I would buy it and use it regardless BUT I do know for a fact there are fakes of these. Nearly impossible to tell from the real one. I had some a few years back. They felt really nice and were aestheticslly nearly identical.

Yeah someone else said fake.   I guess there are always full circles in the C and O on the grip.  So I’m fairly certain it’s fake after looking for a bit and not seeing one listed as authentic not having full circles. 
 

Als trying to have this post to educate once we determine.

That yellow matador grip is fake. You will see that the black SCOTTY CAMERON letter is not centred within it's outline.

I also think its fake...but it looks real.  To game it, go for it. On a collectors item or something like that might want to grab a legit one.

Exactly.  100% fake grip.

I just assume all Matadors are fake unless I know 100% for myself where it came from. In my experience, I've never seen another grip faked as much as these. Thankfully there are some clear indicators. (I learned a new one today about the letters, that's a great call by @north_east_pro)

The black end piece where it go onto the shaft also looks off.  Too short and no taper but it's hard to see from the pics.
