Looks like one truss rod..... Copy.

Definitely a faker, but it's the closest to getting the proper fingerboard color. The inlays are ****, though.

Hmm... Yes. Damn fakes. The inlays are **** - I'll say. One dead giveaway is the distance between the "horizontal" side of the inlays and the fret next to it. On a real Rick neck, said distance is noticeably shorter. I won't go into the other dead giveaways.

The other dead giveaway is the fact it's not attached to the rest of an instrument.

Excuse me but... whoever sells it says very clearly that is a copy (both in german and english). Is a bloody copy but at least they warn about. Not as happened to me a couple years ago with a 4001 bridge, the guy told me it was an original piece, I bought it and when I wanted to assemble it... cold sweat
