If it’s genuine it’s one of the new models there will be someone on here who has the new ones and they maybe able to advise if the style of handle and shoulders is the same.
There are some tell tale signs in some of the older bats which you can spot. The binding and the slight dip on each side of the shoulders.
If someone offered me this as genuine Keeley I wouldn’t buy it, the shoulders and binding don’t look right.
But I could be wrong, I’m sure some of the forum have these new style bats from the Keeley own range.
Sit tight someone will be able to advise.

Yeah to me that doesn’t look right but I could be wrong

I haven’t seen any fake Keeley stickers on the market and I imagine he doesn’t sell them to any old person
But if you lik it and if goes who cares who made it.

Handle looks more GM to me
Definitely not a Keeley in my opinion

feels more like a gm handle too, thickish semi oval handle
-
Shoulders, binding, twine, handle knob and handle inserts all look wrong. I'd put this in the "I'd be very, very surprised if it were genuine" category but a better Keeley geek may have a different opinion :D
I have about 9-10 TK bats and I agree with Dan! It doesn’t look TK to me either.

really appreciate all the help guys, although the bat seems nice and rebound seems very good, i dont think i will be buying this as i had my heart set on a keeley and from the response this clearly isnt an original
