Also, I took a closer look at the 2 ArcSaber 10s I have, one bought from eBay/China and the other I brought back from Taiwan. Hopefully, my observations can serve as additional check in addition to serial number verification:
0) To begin with, the Arc 10 from China showed up with a slight tilt in its head.

1) The Yonex sticker seems to peel off more easily with the fake one.

2) I am confused about the logo printed at the butt of the grip. I read somewhere that the 'A' should look more like a triangle and that is what the fake one looks like??

3) The biggest difference is in the "paint job":
a) Arcsaber 10 has several differently-colored stripes. Run your finger over the stripes around the rim, you can feel a variation between two colors, almost like the stripes were colored tapes. With the fake one, it is simply smooth. I guess that the real one underwent several painting steps to get the stripes (thus the layered effects) while the fake one only got one step of painting.

b) With the faked ones, some of the characters are printed with shadows of a lighter color around the edge of the character. The real one's printing never has the shadow. It is crisp and well defined.

c) There are "arc" shapes printed on the shaft, two rows of them containing some messages. The two rows are aligned with the real one. With the fake one, there is an offset between the arc shapes. Imagine it looks like this:
_<<< Arc saber 10 >>>
<<< Arc Saber 10 >>>

It is tough to get the pictures to show these variations. Looks like the fake factories did not spend enough money to get the paint jobs done right.

[alfred95014]

I forgot to add one more difference:
There are Yonex logos printed on the original red grip wrapping. With the fake one, the material feels flimsy and the printed patterns rather weak / obscure. With the real one, the grip material feels more substantial that it might actually be used without additional grap and the printed patterns have good definitions.

A point of clarification. No, No, No, I did not check the authenticity of your racquet. What I did was to verify the validity of the shaft serial and cone code.

This is the first step towards authentication of any Yonex racket.

Understood. Thanks for making that clear .

Just for further information, the racquet was inspected by a local professional stringer who confirmed it is indeed genuine
