Is this a real or copy Ringle headset? How much is it worth?

[LikeClockwork]

Not overly light and no etching on the faces of the cups, so is it a Sun Ringle or maybe even just a good fake? And what's it worth anyway....? :mrgreen:

1 1/8" by the way, if that makes any difference.

Think it's a ringle slamma jamma headset?

Re:

That's what I was thinking/hoping, but didn't they have the size etched on the cups where they go in the frame....?

Re:

looks legit' to me
I'm looking at one right now and can't see anything etched on the cups. The script is different though..

Re:

Cool! What's it worth then, anyone know a rough value?

Re:

sorry, I was just editing the post as you typed - the letters are slightly thicker and more closely spaced on mine, so I'm not certain...
- if it's a good 'un it's gotta be worth £40+ easily, I'd have thought.

I'm no expert but the writing looks a little off...

Re:

Aha, this is why I was wondering, thought it would be too good to be true if it was a real one, lol! Never even seen one before, let alone owned one. Good headset whatever the outcome, so perhaps best to keep for a build down the line....

Re:

Just been comparing the writing, and certainly on the 'real' Ringle ones, the letters are fatter and closer together, as Ferrus says. Has anyone got a Sun Ringle one for comparison please....? :?

Looks like a good repro or "fake" to me
