Wilson N code N2 - Real or Fake??

[jhupper]

Hi, I was given this racket to look at, the thoughts of the forum would be most welcome. I've attached a decent selection of pics below hopefully.

There is no hologram sticker on the throat, and on intially looking i thought fake but couldn't put my finger on why.

I've had a good internet search and have found pics of both with and without the sticker. So I'm unclear if there are lots of fakes about or the hologram is not a true indicator.

I think fake as I'd expect the hologram on any racket of that price point, but it's also a fairly easy thing to fake so why would it not be on a counterfeit?

Any other tell tales to look for?

Let me know if more pics would help.

Looks ok to me.. right down to the buttcap. I highly doubt there were counterfeits of these. My 2 cents.

Correct. No one was out counterfeiting these. Tell them they can enjoy their racket.

Looks ok.

Well that's good news, I just don't get why some appear to have holograms and others not, but if all signs point to real then all the better..... I can be the bringer of good news!

This slightly concerns me also
