TM P90: How can you ID a Marui body?

[godwin]

How can you distinguish a true marui P90 body from others?

[R.I.T.Z]

older TM's where usually greyish lowers
new ones are black but as with al TM guns it says Tokyo Marui on it somewhere

[Strelok]

They usually stamp the following on their guns.

Tokyo Marui
Made in Japan

ASGK

I own 4 TM guns and all have the markings present.

Yea, the "Tokyo Marui" stamp is usually a good indication.

IIRC TM P90s also have realistic trades.

Hm, just checked my TM P90; it has Tokyo Marui markings on the upper receiver, but none on the body:


It does have realistic markings on the body, but no TM identifying marks:

I've not yet handled a non-TM P90, dunno if they're marked similarly; but if these marks aren't there, then I'd assume it's not a TM.

This is incorrect information.

The FIRST P90 was the red dot version, and this one came with a black body. A bit over a year later, the P90-TR was released, and this one was differentiated with a triple rail system (versus the red dot sight), came with a SOCOM style suppressor, and had the OD/grey lower.

The Red Dot P90 is still in production, and still has a black body. Internally, both guns are exactly the same.

^^^ ILLusion is correct. Note my P90 pictured is an original-run red-dot version, and is black (pics look greyish due to over-lighting and cheap camera).
I'm unaware if TM has changed their markings on later runs, but doubt it; retooling quality injection molds is damn expensive.

Thank you guys!!!

What if found: The Tokyo Marui has a small round circle inside the battery compartment with the label "Tokyo Marui".

Im happy that i got a real one , you never know what you get when you buy used stuff.
