Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph v13 missing paint job?

I bought the Wilson Pro Staff rf97 autograph v13 and on the pictures online on the top part od the racquet frame (where you can see carbon fiber pattern) there is a white line and text "The Roger Federer autograph RF". My racquet is missing that, but rest of the racquet is the same as pictures online shows. It has the same dimensions and weight. I am wondering if I got a fake racquet or do some racquet come without that top text?

Think the RF is one that is more commonly faked. Where did you buy it? How much did you pay? And can you post pictures of it?

I bought it in a tennis equipment shop that only sells Wilson racquets. I don't believe they would sell fake ones because they are next to a tennis club and the shop is a well known for stringing racquets for pro players here in my country. Racquet price was around 250 dollars.

Interesting, maybe it is an early sample of the retail RF or its a possible pro stock.

Is there any way I can check if it is a fake? I never seen one before and none of my friends has it so I cannot compare it in real life. Everything else on a racquet seems original, the weight, dimensions...

Looks genuine. You recognize 99% of fakes at first look. I noticed that often this print in the hoop is not aligned perfectly, on one of my Blades it's so bad that it's almost diagonal. Easily imaginable that one wasn't even printed at all by this machine.
