It's possible I guess, and I was wondering about the lack of Weber markings on these handles. But OTOH I don't think there have been many handle reproducers in the last 20 years (if these are fakes, they are *spot on*), and if anyone had gone to the trouble to trick out their MT, I doubt they would sell it for $15. But on the OTHER, other hand, I'd be surprised if Weber was buying this kind of stock for handles. It's a fun mystery to think about...
