TDA1541 S1 Crown Real or Fake

[gto127]

Hello Everyone,
I'm in need of a TDA1541 S1 Crown. I looked over Ebay and they are all from China. I've heard China is not best place to buy due to fakes. I could send back if fake due to Ebay policy but my question is how to tell a fake vs real one of these? Also anyone know of repubtable source for these. Thanks for any replies.
