Nono, those are the real deal. Especially considering how readily available they are, and how much of a hassle it is to order emerald slate lens and green unobtanium, you can pretty much rest assured that theres no reason yours would be a custom built one. If it comes with the box, the barcode says polished/emerald slate, you're good to go.

Those are indeed the first model of Ichiros to not feature a serial number, and to my knowledge, the later few batches of the '03 polished/slate ones didnt have serials either. And also, the polished/emerald slate are the '05 Ichiros... the '04s were the extremely sought after carbon/OO Blue Iridiums.... And the fact that they are '05 explains WHY there are no serials on them.

Thanks buddy, knew you would come through for me.

These are in my possession now. Gonna toss in a pair of the blue ichiro lenses that have been in safe keeping and enjoy these
