Hi Bindi2, sounds like it's genuine then.

Ian, it looks correct to me!
Mine was purchased long before the fakes started doing the rounds so it's a good example for comparison.
If you have a MkII to compare it with I have found Mk1 spikes tend to be slightly longer than MkII's.
The spike on my Mk1 is exactly 209mm long if you need a measurement to compare. This was measured from the front of the lower socket.

The stamping and font look correct as well, something the fakes usually lack.
