Answers.Body: <p>I've never seen that part until now, and it's certainly not in the <a href="http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&amp;catID=1">antenna</a> or <a href="http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&amp;catID=46">bar</a> bricklink categories. I'm fairly confident it's not LEGO.</p>
  
  <p>However, it would be far more interesting to know what it is, but that's not easy to search. A few Mega Bloks parts have been catalogued, but your part isn't there either (I could only check categories <a href="http://bloks.hyperboards.com/action/view_topic/topic_id/2085">bar</a>, <a href="http://bloks.hyperboards.com/action/view_topic/topic_id/2113">weapon</a> and <a href="http://bloks.hyperboards.com/action/view_topic/topic_id/2109">tool/gear</a> before I got sick, though). Considering that database is far from complete, it doesn't mean it's not Mega Bloks, though.</p>
  
  <p>Actually, I think there's a good chance it IS Mega Blocks: the antennas on the <a href="http://en.bricker.ru/osets/MEGABLOKS/9311/">Repzyllian Trekker</a> and the <a href="http://en.bricker.ru/osets/MEGABLOKS/9316/">Gyro Fighter</a> look very much like yours.</p>

Body: <p>I came across this piece while sorting:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/x01pd.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>It appears to be similar to 2569, but it's clearly a different part. 2569 doesn't have the ridges and has a spherical tip rather than the cylindrical one on this part. The parts are roughly the same length.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/ilkte.jpg" alt="2569"></p>
  
  <p>I didn't see the word LEGO anywhere on the part, so I strongly suspect this is from a knockoff brand, but I wanted to make sure before I remove it.</p>

  I've never seen that part until now, and it's certainly not in the [antenna](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catID=1) or [bar](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catID=46) bricklink categories. I'm fairly confident it's not LEGO.
  
  However, it would be far more interesting to know what it is, but that's not easy to search. A few Mega Bloks parts have been catalogued, but your part isn't there either (I could only check categories [bar](http://bloks.hyperboards.com/action/view_topic/topic_id/2085), [weapon](http://bloks.hyperboards.com/action/view_topic/topic_id/2113) and [tool/gear](http://bloks.hyperboards.com/action/view_topic/topic_id/2109) before I got sick, though).

  Actually, I think there's a good chance it IS Mega Blocks: the antennas on the [Repzyllian Trekker](http://en.bricker.ru/osets/MEGABLOKS/9311/) and the [Gyro Fighter](http://en.bricker.ru/osets/MEGABLOKS/9316/) look very much like yours.
