axles

we have discovered numbers on the ends of some axles, are they lego?

I for one have never seen that, but I defer to more experienced folks like Robertnat.

I have seen this too and all our Lego is legit.
In fact, I was picking some for an order a few days ago - 3 sizes - and automatically looked at the ends for the size number. In this case, there were no numbers and I figured I had been mistaken in thinking they were there.
I'm now going to check my inventory.

Possible useful PDF.

Update:
I now know where I've seen the number.
It's on the various connectors - not the axles.
I had considered it was on older versions but I was wrong.
The pdf is good to have. Have just printed it and will keep it on my work bench.

Love the "old dark gray" color of the one part in that .pdf, too!
