Well,to put it another way..
How to tell the difference between a 1944 one and a early Bundeswehr one..?
I bet they smell the same.
There're loads of early Bundeswehr luft officers overseas caps now sitting in collections because nobody can tell the difference for example.
Same with certain boots.
I still think a lot of these items might be old,but not that old..
A lot of the postwar toques also do have stamps, added by the dealers to make them more attractive, I've seen many..
I think there're a few good ones around, but not so many that every collector now has one, c'mon.., nowadays you'll find them in every collection, while they're mighty hard to find.
They're not my field, maybe yours are fine, I only showed my concerns that nowadays everyone has one, which IMO is impossible.
I've seen many things, but in all my collecting years I don't have seen many of these, even not in the collections I've seen, except for maybe a few in one collection..
That doesn't mean a thing, except that the last 15 years a couple of 1000 popped up and are spread all over the world..,I think that is funny and it makes you wonder where they end up.

it of course was sold to me as genuine with a return gaurentee that was not honored when it was time to return. 
but anyways, check out the differences starting with the size.
