Are counterfeit Flukes a thing? How is it 40% cheaper from a store in China?

Here's a picture of a water-damaged 376.  Do you notice anything (other than the damage) about it?   :)

The shape of the jaw doesn't look like that of the 376. It looks shorter to me.

Looks like it was dug up out of a swamp.

LOL. But to that point, aren't Fluke's chips normally potted? Granted I've not seen many Fluke clamp teardowns.

Isn't "BTC" the marking used by Brymen on their custom ICs?

BeBuLamar:
It does look more like the 373 and definitely not looks like the 376. But I think the 373 was made by Brymen.

Maybe it is a different model, I was thinking it just might be a perspective issue.  It looks like it has the connectors for the iFlex probes though and I don't know what other model it could be.
