No, it was the real Shroud. Harry allowed Marcone to try and heal the young woman with it, but it didn't. Harry gave him three days to try because three days after He died, Christ was resurrected, that is when Harry also said that he didn't "think it worked like that." Then he instructed him to send it to St Mary's in care of Father Forthill, which apparently Marcone did.

According to Harry in Skin Game the one in death masks was false but still had power because so many people believing in it.
--- Quote ---“Hey, is that the Shroud?”
“This one looks older and shabbier than the one you stole from the Church,” I said, rolling up the old cloth and stuffing it into my duster’s pocket. It was thin stuff, terribly thin, and made a smaller bundle than you’d think. “Hell, maybe that investigative panel was right. Maybe the Church does have a knockoff.”
“But I thought that one had power?” she asked.
“It did, but not like this.” My fingers still tingled from touching the cloth. “Besides, we’re talking about the power of faith, here,” I said.
“Enough people believe that the fake is really the Shroud, maybe that’s enough to make it powerful all by itself.”
“Seems like a cheat.”
“Don’t knock it,” I said.

Which is odd because in Death Masks if I remember correctly supposedly stollen was a fake, Harry knew about it, but the one the Marcone turned over supposedly was real. Thanks for the quote, now I remember, it has been a rough afternoon.

Since SG I am wondering why Harry did not lend Marcone the true Shroud to do the same than he did with the fake one.

They are not friends. They use each other.
