    "Real Oyaide come in metal cans, not plastic and cardboard. They are POS don't buy it"
    
    Most excellent point and one I had forgotten. All my Oyaide P products came in a can with the Oyaide product numerical assignment clearly printed on the can itself, along with a bar code.
    
    In addition, the installation instructions will be a small sheet of folded paper with english on one side and japanese on the other.
    
    Can't speak to other regions around the globe but AFAIK, the can is a sure sign of authenticity.

  Its simply the bottom of the line unplated brass Oyaide IEC. They sell for about double in the US.

  Here is a real Oyaide C-029.
  
  I would not touch that one as the seller clearly does not know what he has. There have been fake Oyaides on the market and the only way to be sure of a genuine Oyaide product is to buy from an authorized dealer.
  
  I have a P-029 and use in on my TT motor PC to good effect but I would not recommended them in critical component applications. The other Oyaide models are clearly superior.
  
  Cheers,
