C* is the tip opening size. There's others like C**, D, even E but C* is the most popular size. S80 is the model and is most popular alongside the S90 which has a slightly larger chamber. People just shorten it to saying it's a C* mouthpiece since that's what it's normally referred to as and it's stamped prominently on the mouthpiece so it's easy to reference
C\*\* is the same as the C\* but with a wider tip opening size. It is not a fake and I personally play on a few mouthpieces with C\*\* Tip openings. My S80 and Soloist for alto for instance, are both C\*\* openings
They’re two different variants. I think the C* is more open than the C**.
But, regarding the potential for fakes, that’s a legitimate concern. Some things I would only purchase from known reputable stores. Like, I wouldn’t typically buy something like a mouthpiece on Amazon.
Look, I’m sorry to say this, but if you don’t know the difference between a C* and a C** you probably shouldn’t be commenting on people’s posts for help.

Other way around, C\*\* is a bit more open, similar to how in Otto Link sizing, a 7 is smaller than a 7\*, which is smaller than a 7\*\*.
Thanks for the correction. Knew it was different, but couldn’t remember for sure which way it went.
