Personally, I've only seen aftermarket 7300, and 85cc big bores. Haven't come across a '7900' clone yet...

The lack of markings 'mahle' or part numbers is certainly suspicious.

Maybe ask them to measure the piston diameter?

But also, I'm green to dolmar.

Many 52mm AM options available, oddly enough 47mm too.
Most are BB54mm though.

I have yet to see a "black" cylinder on a fully OEM Dolmar chainsaw.

Black AM cylinders can be found in every other ebay ad selling AM cylinders, they even glorify it as heat dissipating coating.
Besides the black paint possibly being AM are there any OEM that your aware of that don't have numbers/letters embossed on the lower rim ?
Looking at the pics this one doesn't have any that I can see .

Thanks
Ernie

Mahle is not ashamed of their products!
No markings equals aftermarket.
