Re: German or Modern fake?
Your best bet is to go to a WWII renactment show where you can see the stuff in person. a couple notes for you.
1. If you buy in person check the insignia on the sides. if it is a fake it will have a decal that is thin, usually shiny, and flake off easily. Also, you can easily tell if it is a decal by seeing the surface around it. if it is fairly smooth with slight bumps on it and the decal shows the same, it a good sign it could be real. If not it's a fake.
2. Check to see how faded everything is. something 60 yrs old WILL fade, so check for that.
3. Check to see signs of heavy wear and tear on the inner lining, this gives you an idea of age.
