alot of yamashitas have Yamashita written on the weight. The weight will usually also have 2 hold in it and it wont be shaped square or rectangular. The top of the body will also be a bit more pointier rather than rounder. Fakes usually have YA on them or no writing on the weight at all. As mentioned above price is a good indication. If its above 15 dollars its most likely a yamashita, or just a very expensive fake
