Too good to be true, but can't be 100% certain. Let me know what you think based on photographs below, please. Thanks!

Missing the outer cardboard box?

Unknown. This is how they were presented by photographs. I'm not in possession of these.

The box seal and warranty seal are on the wrong sides. There’s no factory code on the bottom of the box and the warranty seal should be on the outer cardboard box not on the box itself. And the lacquer should not be slopped over the inside edges of the box.

That’s just a quick 4 strikes.

Appreciated input. Thank you. The lack of factory code and sloppy lacquer were flags for me too. Wasn't aware of the outer cardboard box. Too good to be true it seems. Thanks again!
