    Is this genuine Panasonic FJ ?

    Had just bought 50pcs panny FJ from local surplus store. Not sure whether it is genuine or fake. The date code marking is different ... I compared it with FC samples factory.

    pict_02: date code of the FC sample [ 65IQB -- year 2006, may, 1st week, line Q, prod. date 2 ]

    pict_04: date code of FJ: 10PS -- ?

    It looks like they're using a different red date code (?), but other than that, it looks nearly identical to the Malaysian FJs that I have. If you can, post a pic of the bottom rubber bung as well as the top vent scoring. The Malaysian Pannys have a much wider scoring on the top vent than the Japanese Pannys, but they're functionally equivalent.

    In my opinion, these are authentic Malaysian FJs.

        Yes, it's genuine. A low-cost counterfeit that's this good in finish would not be worthwhile for the counterfeiter.

          Looks real to me.
