Legit Check on Miura KM-700

[gstar33]

Can someone take a look, bought these from a local shop for 3k with MMT shafts that's not on the Miura's authorized retailer list. Not sure how good counterfeiting technologies are, but I'm guessing there's no way these can be verified.

I would post some clear pictures of the sole and printing on the hosel. 

also, post a picture of the face without your hand in it… 

 

the reason is that most fakes can be spotted by poor printing on the hosel or club number. 
 

The sole grind is a give away, as well as camber, which can be seen below the bottom groove line… 

 

in addition, many fakes are spotted because the actual groove line count is off vs legit heads… 

 

cant see all this from your pictures.

Says made in Japan on the hosel? 
 

Usually the numbers on the 6 and 9 irons are dead give aways

Yup says made in japan on all of them. I don't notice the 6 and 9 being that different.

The numbering on the 5 and 8 irons looks legit. 
 

the lack of a large space below the bottom groove looks straight ….. usually indicative of Miura irons. 
 

Can’t confirm they are legit, but there is nothing on here that stands out as is typical with fakes. 
 

the best way to tell for sure is by weighing the heads…. They are usually within a 1g of the spec weight. 
 

Last thing I think you can do it look at the stock photos on Miura… count the grooves and then count your grooves on each iron. The short irons and long irons have different groove counts…. The fakes always  screw this up. 6 iron should have 13 grooves… the P usually has 14…. Longer irons can have 12. 
 

But I would not be too worried

Roger that, thank you so much for the info. The only problem is it's incredible hard to find demo clubs for these to try out and compare.

They look legit to me. I can take pics of my clubs from certain angles if you want to compare.

Thanks for the response. Just wanted to be super careful.
