Please help me! Are they fakes or original parts?! URGENT!!!

Post by Dr Kilroy »

I founded some minifig's headgear without 'Lego' caption. Some people on Eurobricks said, they are original Lego parts, just made from older, less detailed moulds, but one collector who I respect, said they are fakes. So I finally don't know what are they. :cry: Here are the photos:

I've got also 3 cowboy hats without 'Lego' caption. Please comply them with your parts and tell me are they fakes or not. I recall, it's REALLY IMPORTANT!!! I'm a Lego-purist. :) Please reply fast. If they are fakes, I must make a ruction to a Bricklink seller. :orc:

I'd agree with the notion that they're Lego. All of those pieces are pretty old and very early within the history of minifigs so it's possible there would be no printing for that reason. You should see if someone else has the same pieces and compare from there.

Original

I have a Black Hair piece with the # 2 on it, A red hat with a # 65 on it, The knit hats all have a C and a # on them, and once upon a time I owned the black pig tails. They are just older pieces.

They're real. I have one of the pigtail hair pieces, and it also has the 5 inside. The others are probably real too, although I can't verify them the same way.

Yep, they're original pieces. I quickly compared them with some parts I have with me (I'm not home at the moment, but the handy bit about visiting a LEGO Con is that you have LEGO stuff with you anyway), and mine also have these numbers and not the LEGO logo. I am certain I got these from LEGO sets, since I've never bought minifigs or minifig parts on Bricklink or other pre-owned markets, that's why I'm sure they're LEGO parts.

Definately real. I have one of the pigtails, and it looks just like it. There's nothing to worry about, I'm a purist too! :roflol:
