Fake or not?

[Sburdy]

Alright guys

 

Seen this advertised.. what's the general consensus fake or not?

 

Cheers

Mmmm . Looks pretty convincing . Might be just the camera but the fuel and oil caps look too black . Is there any paper work with it ? If it tells you to run it at 25:1 then its fake . If it says 50:1 then I would say its pukka .

They are very close now in silhouette . Things that give it away are if the AV springs are shiny rather than oil blacked , the front handle grip is black rather than grey and the trigger , fuel and oil caps are black rather than grey . Also if its Chinese it will say run at 25:1 coz the engine is completely different .

This isn't mine guys, just seen it advertised.. looks a little suspect to me.

What makes you think it's a fake?

365 fake was highly accurate...

looks like a huztl aftermarket saw or a ebay chinese complete copy you can buy for 200 and assemble yourself!!

Fake! Buy this instead, it's the most authentic genuine Husqvarna ever made - even comes with an authenticity certificate printed in Swedish

If it's a fake it's a damn good one, even the recoil housing screws are the correct type and different from the regular cap screw above the fuel cap.

 

As for the fuel cap and front handle colour, yeah they look black (ish) in the 1st pic but the front handle is definitely grey as in the last pic both the handle and hand guard look grey.

 

The key point is what makes the OP think it's a fake, surely you can't assume every 2nd hand Husky (or Stihl) advertised is a fake just because fakes are known to exist.
