I bought a Metroid nes cart from a Canadian eBay seller and there's no region code in the lower right corner on the cart. Is there a way to know if it's a can or us cart? Or did I bought a cart with a fake label? Should I make a new entry in the database for it? imgur link to both side of the cart below. Thanks for your help.
According to NintendoAge The 5 screw release didn't have the product code on the label. Three screw versions had the code added and the Nintendo seal was oval. So it's kinda weird that yours is a mishmash of the two. I suppose anything's possible though.
I'll have to take a look at mine when I get home. Mine sounds just like yours but mine is a 3 screw cart I'm fairly certain. If you have questions about its legitimacy, just open it up.
Thanks for the replies,I opened the cart and took photos of both side of the board. I used a flat head screwdriver to open the cart as the screws are normal ones.http://imgur.com/a/F8Gs8

I have never seen a single cartridge that did not have Nintendo's security screws.
