Alibaba, more than likely not genuine.

I'll be willing to bet it's every bit as genuine as the Rolex watches you can find there.

I picked up a new Chinese Aspide via ebay, so there would be some recourse if it was junk.
It's actually a very nice saddle, as it is a decent copy of a very very nice saddle. I have an older model genuine Italian Aspide cfx and the Chinese saddle compares well in quality and finish.
The Aspide is a great saddle but you will need to work to get the angle perfect for you. there is an app to measure saddle angle
