How to tell real from fake (to avoid buying a counterfeit)

Telling a real Tamiya anti-static brush from a fake:

Features of the genuine product:

• Extremely soft filaments, with a feel like cat fur
• A chrome-plated metal shaft
• A price in the mid-to-high range; the actual price is whatever each retailer lists (too cheap means it is sure to be fake)

Features of a fake:

• Stiffer filaments, not soft enough
• A rough handle with burrs
• Blurred or crude printing on the packaging
• An abnormally cheap price

How to avoid them:

• Choose a physical model shop
• When buying online, read the reviews and skip the listing if fakes are reported
• Accept a reasonable price and do not chase bargains
• Choose a "Preferred Seller"
