Smock counterfeits have been around for about a year.

Re: Fake Smock ?
Is it new? Even used, for $56, and the label on the box...not good signs.

My thoughts too . I compared shots and my own Smock and area around the the flipper area appear to be off . Yes it was sold as new . MG2

Re: Fake Smock ?
That's way too cheap for a new one, and too bad for your friend. I hope he can return it, but after two months it might not be possible.

Oh yes this is a fake. The sticker on the box is a giveaway but the CF is even more. They don't really respect the distinct lines of the design aswell. You can see on the top of the handle that everything is kinda rounded instead of having clear angles.

Re: Fake Smock ?
Finally able to do a comparison, definitely a fake . Scales were off , flipper was shaped wrong , and instead of layered CF it was shiny CF . MG2

Too bad for your buddy !
If I were to guess, a Smock won't ever be found cheap, even on the secondary market
