Help Identify Ganine Star Trek Original Pieces from Paramount Shop Replicas.

The zoomed pic from Etsy shows printing on SIDE of BASES.  Is this only on Originals or only on Paramount Shop Replicas or both? 

How could I as an amateur tell knock offs from the originals?  I can tell the 3d printed fakes but still do not know if the printing can help me distinguish.

Hey @Bunky777 - I’m sorry I can’t answer your question / suffice to say that whether original or not they are different and quirky…. If I saw them in a vintage shop - I’d add them the my collection. My plastic Ganine’s are one if my favourites sets. Awful to play with but mesmerising to look at.

I had ended up getting the set for $160 CAD and Is one of my collection's featured sets. Great playing and still looking new after 60+ years.
