Good point! Going to System Information > Hardware > Power > AC Charger Information, does provide the manufacturer. An original adapter would have "Apple, Inc." in the Manufacturer field.


So, unless a third-party has a means to mimic this setting, this would be a good indication that the adapter is an original Apple device, or not.
