Authentics normally cost about $400 with cresting (although, I believe they had a sale late in the season), so that's the biggest clue as to whether or not you bought an authentic or a replica (which are officially called the "Premiere").
If you bought it from the Flames and it has a fight strap, you should definitely have a real Authentic.

Sorry. To clarify, I meant the fakes in the Premier cut have the fight strap. The authentics are cut differently and do have the fight strap. I didn't mean to say any that had a fight strap were fake, but that's pretty much what it looks like I said.
