Hi!

I Recently bought my first cube from ebay. I wanted a type A I, but I'm not quite sure what I got. The core is not "dull yellow" like I thought it should be. Also, the Guojia logo is a bit different (having gray tile faces instead of black, and the red mark is a bit different too). The screws have fine threads and small and large washers. The cubies do look exactly like type A I and the weight is 104 g with an accurate scale. So the diffence is in the core and logo from what I can tell.

Is it possible that this is not an "official" type A I? Then what is it? Where should I buy a type A I from so that I can be sure that I get that exactly?

Here's a pic. Next to the type A is a storebought Rubik's brand cube, just to give some color reference.
