Does it matter if they were given to you. 
Can YOU tell the difference? If not, do you care if others do? If you're buying or your mate was buying what he thought to be originals then that's another matter.

I had a guy trying to sell me some fakes...whilst I was wearing my proper ones!
The first thing to give them away were that they were 20 quid, I don't think so!
The screws that hold the legs on should be tiny cross heads, these were big **** off self tappers!
The ones I looked at had metal frames, similar to my own. Mine are like a lightweight cast sort of thing, these were pressed and folded sheet metal.
The thing with Oakleys is, you just know when you pick them up, you really can feel the quality in them, anyone who has a pair will tell you the same All Oakleys come with a black bag too, you use it for cleaning the lenses, this should have Oakley embroided on it, on a label.
Good luck

As I was given them and dont use them anymore as I bought some new ones I was going to put them on ebay, but obviously dont want to mislead anyone in the process
