If you are not concerned about damaging the object you are testing, you can heat it up. If it smells like plastic, it is imitation, if it smells like burning hair, it is the real deal.

By pricking it with a red hot steel needle in an non-noticable position on the object. If the item displays a burn mark, it is imitation, not the real McCoy.
