Is this wear/marking normal on a new jacket?

I have a new lambskin jacket, which I've worn for a total of 7, days whilst on holiday.

There are marks appearing, and having never owned one of these jackets before, I want to check if it's normal for such a short period of time. To be fair, the wear to the sleeve may have been caused from rubbing against my camera bag.

I know these jackets generally have a somewhat rugged look and it's normal to have some unique wear, but given the cost, thought to run it by you guys just in case.

Without having any experience in these jackets, I'm unsure what to make of it. I expect wear as time goes on, but as John lever says, it seems premature after a week of use.

More info required. What sort of jacket and what have you been doing while wearing it?
It's a flight jacket from Nobel House, Germany. And just general walking around sightseeing, visiting places, etc, whilst on holiday in a cold climate.

Do they normally wear this quickly? I'm just concerned that after 6 months it might look real bad at this rate.
