Is a good price. Are you selling them?

Is this a 12000SR or 1200SR?

NOt sure if a 12000SR model exists.

The 1200SR is supposed to be the top of the line model in the e41 and looking at the cosmetics, I wouldn't pay 210 pounds for this bat. I have seen better looking 1000 and 500 series bats.

Where are you getting this bat from?

Why does the e41 say 12000 and not 1000?

Was going to say if he's trying to sell them surely this should be in the for sale section.

In UK we have only the 500 and 1000.

In Aus there is the 500Ss, 750i, 1000LE and 1200SR. But never heard of a 12000SR

Pictures 3 and 4 have different stickers on the back; seems strange.

Some snaps of the shoulder stamps would go some way to clearing this issue up.

Looking at the back stickers of the e41

I can tell you them stickers were not on the bat originally if you look at the little 2 central stickers there a fold in them same as the outer two..

A classic,tell tail sign of postage stickers because that is where thnatural fold is when the package is,a4 and under

Indian origin them stickers and the finish of the stickers is printed labels not a proper sticker the gray nicolls part is too opaque

Oh and the fact there badly wonky

I will put my balls ( cricket balls ) on the line and say they are both fake. Stickers on both bats aren't genuine

There is no 12000SR. There are fake stickers selling out of India that say 12000SR instead of 1200SR. There have been a few fake e41's sold on Aus Ebay with the fake stickers. The guy selling these bats looks dodgy. He used to sell under a different ebay user ID. He had contacted me about wanting to swap some bats. He offered me a few different bats and said he could sticker them up as whatever I wanted. He has listed some refurbished bats in past and I suspect he is having bats refurbed and stickering them up. The grains on the e41 are consistent with a 500 series. There is also another dodgy seller on ebay user name maciek. He is selling fake Pumas and recently sold a fake e41 stickered as a 12000.

Right gents, I'm locking this one as there is clearly concern over the origin of these. Unless there is any proof provided they're real we'll say "Fakes, steer well clear"!

Given that the original pictures shown denoted a real model (1200SR) and also we have pictures of the stamps on the shoulders, I am reopening the topic. If anyone is considering this offer, please be aware that they are not in the hands of 12man, so you are effectively buying through an agent, with all the risks fof fulfillment that entails. I would suggest that if you are buying in this way, 12man should offer a depositary option, and you pay a full amount when he has the products and can send them direct to you. Remember as always on the forum it is buyer beware.

Question Tim...

Didn't the original pic, which has been removed, show the model sticker as a 12000SR and not a 1200SR?
Title: Re: Gray Nicolls E41 AND A61
Post by: tim2000s on December 03, 2012, 10:57:06 AM
I thought it was a 1200SR not a 12000SR. If it was a 12000SR, then 12man should steer well clear.

I do have to ask but how would you put the fake gray nicolls on the side? I thought that was burnt in?

Measure the edges and spine height to see if they are genuine
