For sale but is it fake

[Laydon]

Hello this has tipped up locally could it be genuine?

Looks like this really odd one I saw a while back.

I would assume it is counterfeit until proven otherwise.

Not sure where it was made, Korea or China?

I have seen one other one with the really thick letters like yours that is also very suspect.

Very similar at the rear

Front view, it’s temptingly cheap seller states he imported it from Japan but believes it’s 90s Korean

I think these may be the first Fakais. I am guessing they were made in the mid to late 90s. Maybe 1997 with that serial number starting with a 7?

The Original Fakais ?
