d130 speaker cone real or aftermarket

[jackrhein]

How can you tell if a speaker cone for a d130 is an original JBL product or aftermarket?

I believe it says 130-202 on the cone

The original D-130 and 130A cones used by JBL for many years were marked "130-202" in white ink on the rear. They were produced by Hawley, who supplied cones to almost everybody in those days.

Seems to me though that if anyone was to make a reproduction D-130 cone then they would probably put that same number on the back since it is so well recognized.

There is a seller on ebay that sells aftermarket cones as original. ALL jbl kits come with the voice coil + former attached to the cone. As allluded, anyone cab make a stamp.
