    I'm not sure whether you guys have discussed this before, but if you have pardon me as I'm not sure what terms to use to search this...

    I was at a last evening and I saw this ti-10long. Looked genuine, with serial code and all but the thing was on the shaft it was painted SP and on the serial number the date code on the back had IP.

    Is that normal?? Or is it suspicious? The owner of the shop guranteed me that it was an original one. He does not sell fakies but that ti-10 just looked suspicious.

    Anyone?

    thats beleivable.
    SP on the shaft just designates it having gone through the sunrise shop.
    and IP means it was destined for indonesia.

    IP -> Indonesia
    Sunrise has several countries under it, including SP, IP, HK...etc

    My Cab-20 is also like that, SP (from Sunrise) on shaft and IP on cone.

    I have a Cab20Tour SP but the serial number contains HK :D

    I don't doubt the authenticity of the racket since I got from a reputable store and the other fake checkpoints (IIRC, check bluejeff's site) are OK.
