Fake ? Stihl file kit

[mccann690]

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place as this is my first post have just bought this off of ebay and not sure if it is a fake have looked all over the net and have never seen a stihl sharpener come in this wrap it is plastic and cheap feeling there are now stihl prints on handles or round file all metal parts are brass coloured instead of a stainless steel finish feel like poor quality compared to my Vallorbe kit want to be sure this is genuine or fake before I send this back not sure if this is an older model

Looks 'Jen U Wine' to me.

Not seen the plastic pouch before, but the rest looks right.

 

All my round files are Stihl and they have "Stihl Germany" etched on them with their size.

 

Maybe it's Stihl-branded for other markets?

I only trust stihl dealers.
Never eBay.

And i think they're only about 20 quid?

 

I bought Oregon kits, but found the round files (Swiss-made, so Vallorbe?) Weren't very good and one felt like glass and didn't cut for shit. Bought Stihl round files instead.

They are made specifically for sharpening the fake Stihl saws , obviously  .

If you're unsure send it back mate. Not worth messing about with it if you don't feel it's right.

I don't remember any stihl filing stuff being gold (cadmium/zinc) plated either?
