Ehhh.....why? Are you going to buy the replica and try to sell it as a real one? If so... you're an asshole.
Seriously though, the quality will be different. On my replica Wilcox (G&P) it can tend to come loose after a while. I don't think the real one will do that considering it's supposed to hold up on a real rifle. Also, the finish might be a little off as they often aren't perfect. Sometimes trademarks won't be exactly the same, usually that depends on the brand of replica you get though. Otherwise, they'll be pretty much similar.

Finish is different for one. The most obvious difference is that the real one will have the R up in the corner by the X. My old VFC one didn't have that R.
Kiki, he bought one, presumably real, and is wondering if he got a fake instead?

You could always try to find out if Wilcox ever made that mount without the registered mark (r) printed on them. Best bet would be to contact the manufacturer at that point.

Thor- In chat he said there was black goop covering the trades, so I am very skeptical of it being legit.

Ahh, then I would be too. Only a paranoid Asian supplier or a dickbag trying to pawn off a fake as real would bother covering the trades.

Looks like the fake has untreated screw and knob, while the real is case hardened or somehow finished to avoid corrosion. Fake = dull, real = polished or shiny looking.
