OK, if you have him out of the packaging look for these: triangle screws, CHINA (somewhere on it), M1, and S/S/8. Tell me if it has those anywhere on it.
Ok, I found all of those thing except the M1...Although I found a "2" randomly placed near his hole. I took him out of the packaging the moment I got him! 😛
You're fine, the M1 was for a different company. But yes, he is not fake, you have a good one! Don't worry about the hot glue, they used to do that.
