In my experience, I've often found that imitation Coach bags have those cheapy gold/brass looking Coach signature tags on them, whereas most Coach bags have the little leather signature tag on them. Don't get me wrong, I've seen real Coach bags in Macy's before that have gold/brass sig tags, but they actually look heavy instead of flimsy.
Years & years ago when my dad was in the military, he bought my mom a real Dooney & Bourke purse from the military exchange and she still has it.
Here's a good guide to spotting fake Coach bags:

All Coach and DB at the PX (BX or NEX) are real. I've gotten a couple here at the PX on Ft Meade. They used to have a little sliding door thiny (?) Under the stand where they are displayed and thats where they hide the dust bags. I'm not sure if all of them are the same or if they are still displayed that way (My ID Expired in Feb and I miss the PX soooo much) The best time to get them is during the holidays when they have mid night madness. I got a coach there once for like 50 bucks!!!

All designer brands sold at the PX are real. Be they D&B, Coach, Brighton, etc. As it is illegal to sell rip-offs of designer purses, a government-affiliated store might have issues with that, yes?

There is no way that a govt controlled store would sell fakes. aafes,px,bx always carry designer brands and for a slight very slight discount. ON most occasions you will pretty much pay retail but with no tax lol.

Can't speak for military exchanges but whenever I shop at the Coach outlet store none of the bags come with the duster/satchel bags and you don't get a box either. Just get some tissue and the stardard shopping bag and away you go! So no worries, that doesn't mean it's fake

No...They are def. not fake. The Military would never allow that.
