Fake TRC 's at ebay?

[andee]

Hello together,

in the last weeks I found again and again TRS's at ebay from italy.
My first thought was that it's looks like original, but then I saw that the "Made in USA" letters are aligned left to the screw-holes, not centered, like on all my rickenbacker-guitars.
The seller has sold serveral of these TRS's for a very good price over here in europe.

Here's the link to the current advertisement at ebay:

Here's the link with the ratings of the seller, he has sold serveral of these TRC's:

So, what do you think about that?

may a fake TRC

Kind regards
Andy

They look the same as those on the new 330F(f-hole) available in England :

Oh no! Now even RIC is using fake TRCs!

That was my immediate thought too.. - Now even Rosetti is putting fake TRCs on their guitars...

Are you really sure?

I know that trc's look a bit different from time to time. But I've never seen the "made in usa" so left-aligned.
Even not on the 2014 TRC's, look at the comparison. The right one is of my 360w, made in Feb. 2014.

And the seller sells exactly this TRC again and again and again...? What are the odds!
