Judging on how mine was so professionally wrapped and boxed, three layers of hard cardboard, they are definitely German attention to detail product. That was initial impression, then the chuck itself - a real beauty.
I have learned over the years, some sellers on eBay buy shut down business as a package. In one case I bought 2 each 2HP Inverter duty 3P motors brand new in wrap and in original boxes for 135 each. Had a buddy picked them up. This particular sold all kinds of stuff and these motors were the only motors he had.
My guess this seller we are dealing is not really an importer, but bought a shutdown business and these were just part of the big lot of stuff.
