Which T2?

[Voltrane]

Hello,

I am a little confused.
Amazon sells 2 T2:

This one sold by Chemich Fabric Schachen in Kriens (CH)

https://www.amazon.fr/Tromba-La-Entretien-Huile-LATROMBAT2/dp/B003UV0W7M/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4NBQ7YKPKEWE7S3TCA0C

and this one sold by La Tromba AG in Hochdorf (CH)

https://www.amazon.fr/Tromba-760566-Huile-piston-T2/dp/B06XRJBNP4/ref=pd_cp_267_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06XRJBNP4&pd_rd_r=a6be0aeb-784c-11e8-b5b4-7705f7469252&pd_rd_w=7N16F&pd_rd_wg=RvY0D&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=A1X6FK5RDHNB96&pf_rd_p=2171515611131751452&pf_rd_r=ZJ9EDNBQ42CT4TQKQ7E0&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=ZJ9EDNBQ42CT4TQKQ7E0

Are they the same? Is one a fake?

It seems to me there is a problem somewhere when I read this on the Hochdorf site (read the "important notice"):

Many thanks for any information.

From the thread...
"The bottle in the link posted by kandor is the new and different bottle I memtioned earlier. That's because it is the "copy cat T2 Special", as are all the other La Tromba products on his price list.
I just today received word from the original company explaining that the name "La Tromba AG Hochdorf" was "quickly created after the death of the original owner by A. Stolzel elsewhere in Switzerland. With the help of some former employees, production know-how, lists of clients were taken from the original company. He did not purchase the old company.
Mr. Stolzel did not pay a cent for the name or anything else. He never received the right to use the name.
In February 21, 2014 the original company was legaly purchased by others using the same old factory, most of the original employees and having the rights to the La Tromba name and products.
So any products under the name La Tromba AG are not from the origianal factory.
Incidently, the La Tromba AG products can not be shipped into the U.S.
from their factory.... possibly from a distributor I'm not sure.
I am constantly working on this problem and as I said before I will not bring any La Tromba in until I feel confident that it is the same GREAT PRODUCT it was.

(don't knock my spelling please)

This is the company that never received the right to use the name Tromba and for all porposes is not the original."
