I look around MAX and the local shows with interest. It is always amazing the stuff that vets brought back. As far as my area of competence, which are SA/SS/NSKK model 1933 daggers. I see poorly maintained daggers, overly cleaned ones, buggered screws, badly repaired ones, etc, but no outright fakes. Those I see on internet sites like 3-2-1 or items posted here.

With Army/Navy/Luft/HJ, I can recognize the blatant fakes, but not much more. As the rest of the offerings like rings, cloth, headgear, flags, I would not have a clue unless it says "made in China".
