New M110 Oil Pump on Ebay NOS or Used?

[doitwright]

There is a vendor from Chairo, Egypt offering a new old stock M110 oil pump on ebay. From discussions about the M110 pump on previous posts, original oil pumps are NLA and even this replacement has become hard to come by. I have no affiliation with the seller but the asking price seems fair, considering what MB would charge.

Given the dings/ marks visible on the pump, it appears used, not NOS.   Just because it is sitting next to a box is not evidence of “new”

I just received one of the 2 pumps the seller had available. Just from an appearance point of view, the suction cup/screen look new. The shaft with the gears look used. There is what seems like excessive play when twisting the tip of the shaft back and forth. I will post a video link below. I think I may agree that it is not NOS but a used and worn out part.
