Well, it depends on your definition of "real"...
The market certainly distinguishes replicas from originals, even in situations such as you describe. For example, modern replicas of 19th century firearms can be 10x cheaper than the originals, even if they are perfect reproductions down to materials used. So, whatever the reason, people do care on average.
