as mark said. the repops have dia compe stamped on em

Gnarlyscoots:
These are the sure fire ways of telling-

1. The MX stamp on the reissue lever is poor quality,

2.  The sweep of the reissue lever is not as upswept as an original DC Tech 3

3.  The rivet that holds the lever in place on an original DC is not anodised,

4.  If you shine a torch down the inside of the lever body of a genuine lever, there is a month and year date plus the word JAPAN stamped in there.

Hope that helps you  :coolsmiley:
