Yea he seem reputable - he had alot of them and many trades on reddit. It was this sale : https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/5vkp1c/usia_h_artisans_bros_hws_w_paypal/
I should of done more research before buying them, tbh there isn't much on brocaps authenticity but found alot on clack factory. I don't want to pm bro he probably has way to much messages daily so posted it here.

Yeah they're legit, Xiro doesn't deal with fakes.

I was/am concerned about this as well. Generally speaking, if you buy from a reputable collector (like Xiro or Ace) who has been around on mm or gh, you will be fine.

However, there have been a few fakes sold on mm recently (as fakes), and who knows whether they will fall into less honest hands.

I actually ordered one myself to see if I could find a way to tell if it's fake. Will post any findings.

I would bet he's one of the best about identifying fakes

i think he atleast not copiying the makers stamp inside the cap(i might be wrong), just for the reason that he wants to advertise himself instead.

There are fake brobots on Chinese sites that I don't think come from k3. They are very close to BBV2s that existed prior to the holo stamp, so can be difficult to tell.
