Hello,
I have bought some lego parts, but i believe they might be fake.
The bricks do have 'lego' written on the top of the studs, but on the
back side of the brick there are no 4 or 5 digit part number. Anyone can tell,
if these are real lego (maybe older parts only had the logo)?

Real. If it has the lego lego it’s real. Some parts don’t have the part number
and some don’t have the logo and some have neither but if it has the logo it’s
real

Really strange how so many people believe there is so much fake Lego out there
with Lego logo.

Seems that we have these questions or statements most weeks, sometimes more than
once a week.

Op : Other markings underneath will usually be part number / mould number and
position in mould / copyright / pat pending / pending Pat / both the previous
two obscured etc.

However, better to ask if unsure.

And most are ZERO feedback buyers that I guess are new to Bricklink, sky is aways
falling in this forum even with all the millions of successful transactions.
Like they say, negative views get the attention...

Add some pictures for us to look at. No way for us to be sure otherwise.

Though fake Lego usually doesn’t have logos, pictures would be great

I'm not going to say it's never happened, but I've never seen a fake
with the Lego logo on it, not even pictured.

I’m with you on this, never seen a fake with Lego logo.

Seen many claims that they exist but all proved to be false.

Agree with both of you. This belongs as a help topic, as was done with this other
perennial topic:

Thanks everyone who answered!
Sorry for not posting pictures from the start. Posting a couple of pictures of
2 bricks that interests me the most:
- The white 2x4 brick has "lego" on top of it, but theres no part number
on the bottom, just a single number "5".
- The green 6x6 tile has no "lego" logo on it (not on the front and
not on the bottom). On the bottom side there is only a single number "11".

Any ideas are these 2 parts Lego?

The fake ones taste like pistachios.
