They look like it to me, nice pick up. Anejo # 77 are called sharks, supposedly because a Fuente family member (child maybe?) thought the 77 looked like a shark fin. I have also heard that it looks like a shark tooth so who knows. I haven't had one myself yet but want to try soon.

Definitely Sharks.

Probably my favorite Fuente outside of the Casa de Fuente sticks. Nice pickup!!

Yup, as many other brothers have confirmed, and I agree they are sharks. The shape is extremely rare with the box press foot tapering down to the torpedo head. From what I have been told there is only one roller that can make this shape like this and that leads to the rarity.
Enjoy by all means. They are fantastic!
