Not nice pics, compare Mullard's with these original ones:

12AT7 Mullard Made in Great Britain ECC81

Good luck!

Any questions I would look elsewhere..In any event don't spend more than you are comfortable loosing if those tubes prove to be something other than represented.

Shipping cost to China for something this small should not be prohibitive.. (eBay UK or US)

I have bought tubes that were misrepresented from Hong Kong, and tack on a big language barrier (unless you speak Mandarin) and there is a good possibility of mis-understanding.

I think I did see a few that appeared to be Mullards, and others that may or may not have been. The ones shown with the plastic pin protectors might be a good bet, as UK military stock sometimes came with these in place.

As always at your own risk!
