I call it a fake as all it takes is someone who isn’t knowledgeable on them, OR someone who is out for a quick buck to pass it off as an original (see the “Marine Service Kit thread” Given this one had the box and the tag, it made it easier to know what it was, but give it one or two owners and that can/could change.
I stand by my opinion on this as it’s only going to get harder in the future to tell some of this stuff apart. The more “authentic reproduction” parts that are made and not marked, will lead to more scammers pass off fakes as legit items in the future.
