I just purchased several black technic axle pins which I am unsure about. They
were rather expensive, so I want to know that I bought authentic Lego pieces.
These have strange markings and odd mold styles. I am picturing them below.

The one on the left has a hole in the pin and spaces in the axle as well as some
kind of marking pictured in photo 2.

The one on the right also has a strange mark on the pin, pictured in photo 3.

Are these fakes?

Thanks

That is a clone brand logo. I don’t know which one, but those are not LEGO.

this guy again!

I have seen this logo on a technic liftarm
Together with your pic, we have 2st clue: crooks are into technic clones -

1st clue was obvious: they imprint their logo. so no stealers of brand, they're
cloners. damn good ones too.

see unrelated pic
