Falcon or Fake?

Hi guys, first post and already some cue problems. After 10 years i decided to buy a cue and start playing again.....so i went to ebay and somehow instantly bought a Falcon cue. Was my very first purchase there anyway^^. New and allegedly a "special edition" with not many cues produced. I didn't want to spend a fortune as long as i don't know if i will really still enjoy playing in some months time.....so i went for this cue for 145 euro.
So we are not talking about a fine high-end cue here but just about a standard beginners cue. I thought 145 for a Falcon was ok and the other Falcon cues in this price range here are REALLY ugly.

Unfortunately now i have my doubts that this is a genuine Falcon, since i can literally find this cue nowhere on the net. I'm afraid that i bought a chinacue with some Falcon sticker on top of it. It came with a soft Falcon cue case and some "made in canada" falcon sign and joint protectors.

So if anyone can tell me what cue that is, i would be really grateful.....i might have paid too much, but at least i want to know, that the cue is genuine. Sure, the loss wouldn't be huge but i would be really pissed off if someone sells me a fake cue.
Already sent a mail to Falcon but no one seems to answer there.




Anyone an idea? Would it have been better to buy a used meucci cue in the same price range?
 
As far as I know, Falcon cues are no made in china anyway. So I would be willing to bet that you have a genuine Falcon. However, Falcons of today, and Falcons of years ago are two totally different breeds.
Not trying to discredit your choice of cue, so don't take this in the wrong sense, but there's not much to gain by impersonating or creating fake Falcons in todays market.
