Denon 103r with no serial number?

I have the opportunity to purchase a Denon 103r for a very good price but the catch is that it doesn't have a serial number on the top of the cartridge. why would this be, is it a grey market item or possible a factory second?

Any thought?

Does it have an aftermarket body, like a wooden or aluminum
one? These probably wouldn't have the serial number on the
top.

If it has an OEM factory body, the serial number should be
on the top.

Why don't you ask the seller?

Why would anyone counterfeit a cart that's as inexpensive as a DL103r?

If it is a counterfeit than someone is still making a sizable profit.
