Are these Jargar Heavies?

Hey all,

Won a bid on ebay...10 dollars for a 5 sets of unidentified strings.
I'm trying to identify one particular set, that I suspect are Jargar by some not so reliable "string ID database." http://www.quinnviolins.com/qv_stringidsearch.shtml

All of them are Red at the peg end, and the ball is a brass disc.
E string is "teal" green at the ball end.
A string is blue at the ball end.
D string is black at the ball end.
G string is orange at the ball end.

Jargar heavies are red at the ball-end and blue at the peg-end.

The ball-end colors you gave are similar to Pirastro Jazzers, but Pirastro uses a tone ID color code at the peg end which is:
E: green
A: black
D: red
G: brown

IMO, you bought cheap noname strings of chinese origin.
$10 wouldn't be even enough to buy just one string of a reputable string maker.
