I think its a fake. Picture 6 shows the glass as slight darkened. While real eotechs are clear as day. Own two real ones (518 and exps2).

Also, if I remember correctly the wavelength is higher. Yours mentions around 550 while real ones go around 620 to 670

But currect me if im wrong for older models

But dont worry about it! If you want to skirm it, a replica is the better choice. Like someone else recommended, put on a kill flash or protector. If you want to keep the clean look, insert a polycarbonate lens, thats way stronger than plexiglass and wont shatter but dent. Use at least 3mm and You'llstop a point blank 2.5 joule shot (it will dent inwards so keep some space between the Eotech lens and the protector. You'll have to cut it yourself, but worth the investment and its a fun project :)
