Managed to buy a "fake" baldwin from Volmax recently.
Some tell tale signs:
> No "Made in _____"
> Different design of cover plate (Check Baldwin website for verification)
> No crimping on cover plate
> Overall dimension is a bit off.
Counterfeiters are a bit smarter now bec:
> Paint job and logos are spot on and even better than genuine Baldwin. But they made a slight mistake on the logo.
> There was computer date etching on top but still is a bit different from the usual Baldwin.
> It comes shrink wrapped.
I will try to post pics soon. I'm sure this forum continues to be monitored by Volmax.

Bound to happen. All Baldwins will have the Made in USA on them or the country of origin period.
Country of Origin - Baldwin manufactured filters are marked with the country of origin. Baldwin has manufacturing plants in the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, South Africa, Morroco and China.
Here is your guide to spot a fake one.

and the original from Baldwin Website
And since this forum is being monitored, I will not be pointing out any discrepancies with the counterfeit. Who knows, maybe the counterfeiters might learn to perfect it someday. Lets not teach them how do it,
So pls. everybody careful with what you post around here.

Idol, pwede pa post din date code dun sa top part ng filter. yung parang serial number serial number. i emailed don cross re: this, and just got a reply from him. he is requesting that we send him a photo of the top portion of the filter you got from volmax. he may be able to track the origin of the said filter through the code on top.
Heres his reply.
"I appreciate your concerns with this, could you please take two more photos, one looking down on the top of the filter where the date code is and one of the stamp showing country of origin. It is possible it was manufactured in our Chinese factory but I will be able to tell from the date code. Please copy the date code in text as well in case the photo does not show it in detail. Thanking you for the information. I will get back to you once I follow up.
