Maybe.

NASA does sell excess and used material from time to time. NASA also gives pieces of hardware away to thier employees and thier contractors. Typically, NASA includes a discard slip of paper saying it is a give away. I've seen slips for stuff as small as a screw.

Since there isn't a discard slip, it makes me believe this is a fake.
