WWII German bandage almost too clean

[Fiziwater]

Does this bandage look too new to be original, or was there some well preserved German NOS?

hello,

I do not specialize in WWII German bandages.  I know that virtually everything is faked or reproduced in some way.  That being said, I have seen plenty of new old stock bandages in mint or near mint condition.  I see no obvious reason to think this one is a fake.  Someone else may chime in and disagree.  And if so, I admit my mistake in advance.  Cheers!

That's reassuring danimal03. It came from Stewart's Military Antiques back in 2018, and I think I even called to ask if they were sure its original, which I was told it was. It sure is clean!
