In is very common to see classic German brands traditionally trusted for precision/quality parts, to be purchased by China based traders. It should be illegal, but it is no longer technically counterfeit product.

Should have seen the puzzled sour face I made when replacement "New German" cross-roller linear optical-slides were bouncing 8x out of spec compared to a 40 year old part they were supposed to fix. lol =3
