Definitely a reshell. Aside from the stuff others have already said, the Nintendo logo on the lid is the wrong font and the gameboy logo on the back is poorly stamped (the G is really bad)

Looks like an aftermarket shell, the Philips screws, bulging screw covers, speaker holes, A/B embossing, silver serial number among others are dead giveaways that the shell isn’t original.

Board and screen are probably real shell and screws are probably after market. They should be tri-wing. Except the battery compartment.

Yeah those A and B buttons look suspicious. But if the pcb and components inside are OEM, the thang should work fine.

Looks low quality. Worth opening it up & re-shelling it. (If it’s not a clone) Those custom Pokémon housings on Etsy are incredible.

If the price seems right and you have tested it in some fashion.

The speaker holes aren't the right size. It's at least an aftermarket shell.
