Looks like a vintage, gold plated, folded Jubilee band. The gold plate is worn on the underneath side of the links, but the clasp coronet appears genuine. Can't say for sure, but the end links might be aftermarket. I've never seen a fake band like this before. From looking at the pics, it appears like it has been around for a while. Why do you believe it is a fake? Thanks in advance.

I thought all Rolexes had a logo stamped into the folds all the way through like mine does and others I have seen? And if I am wrong I am still learning. Thanks.

Another photo of the end pieces........I cannot see any markings for the end piece?

You are correct about the clasp stampings. But, on the older bands, especially USA manufactured bands, the stampings would be on the other side and not visible the way this clasp is displayed in the photos. I'm fairly certain it is a vintage USA made band, probably a C&I band but there were also other manufacturers for Rolex bands in the USA. I'm still out on the end links though. Thanks.
