I was taking a look at the tube you describe but most, if not all, were in China.  Have you ever had success buying tubes from China?  I always figured there was too much chance they were fakes.

yes, i noticed that too ... & like you, i'm very leery about tubes & source.  i've never purchased any tubes from china ... amps & dacs, yes but not tubes.  however, from the pix i don't see any obvious indications that these are anything less than authentic (well, there's always a possibility of a re-label).  my guess is that many of these are pulls from scrapped lab gear.
