That's the thing, the fake velvet always turns out perfect. A little too perfect.
If you look at real velvet there's blood veins channeling throughout the beams and up the G2's and it's apparent throughout the details of velvet. The hair is imperfect with long, medium and short hair mixed. I have several velvet bucks mounted of my own and all with real velvet, the details are very distinguishable.
It's a great deer and a buck of a lifetime to most of us, but I think that leaving the velvet off would have been waaaay better than adding in fake velvet (just my opinion) either way that is a great mount.
