I think it would be really hard to fool all of the antiquities professors who are always skeptical to begin with. But if it is fake, it's a good one. I myself have a Bible that over 350 years old.
So it's easy to compare today's Bible against it. I had it scanned and digitized about 15 years ago. So I don't have to worry about it getting torn up.
But there are a lot of old Bible around. Hundreds.

So if it's fake, they have thousands of people involved all over the globe, for hundreds of years, a dozens of generations. I would say that would be an extremely hard thing to do.

I ran across this on TUBI, intitled "Tares Among the Wheat: Sequel to a Lamp in the Dark". It's 3 hours long but interesting. If you have a chance and the time I would be interested in what you think after you see it.I think it would be really hard to fool all of the antiquities professors who are always skeptical to begin with.
