Official Fakes/Possible Fakes Inquiry Thread (ARE THESE FAKE? POST FAKES HERE)

Hey, looking to find out what’s the truth on my Mag Switches. I bought these about 20 years ago in a sunglass shop in New Hampshire. I’m the original owner. What are the frame/lens colors ? Guys on FB group are saying they’re fake because of the “OAKLEY” print on the bridge but offered no other proof. They weigh 30 grams or so.

Everything have you even seen real mag switches? None of them have the oakley name printed across the nosebridge

Did you read the description on O-Review? Yours are obviously plastic.

Well thanks for the warm welcome. I don't believe I've seen real ones in person then. I bought these at an authorized shop, at least I thought I did. I think that was in 2001...Were they being faked back then?

They never came in this color way, they never had Oakley on the nose bridge, the nose bridge is attached with pins, not supposed to be one big piece. There are many tells.

Thank you for pointing out the tells.
