In todays world the only real way to tell is to buy it new from a trijicon dealer. One thing to keep in mind is if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

From the site:
Deal with established, reputable Trijicon vendors. For a list of authorized Trijicon dealers, click here.
Look for the registered trademarks that will be on the sight and accompanying documentation, such as the packaging material, instruction manual and warranty card.
Most genuine Trijicon products contain tritium and will be so marked as per governmental regulations.

You can do it reasonably safe if you educate yourself. This is one of those cases that google can be your friend. There are dozens of articles out there that will get you up to speed to recognize counterfeit pieces. The best ones show detailed photos of a genuine piece and then a fake that has been found. I have read even some "dealers" have sold counterfeit models unknowingly. And Amazon is the worst.
Good luck...

These photos are not high enough resolution for a proper examination. But that may be due to the website...
Fakes are a plague in the industry, and have been really bad for about 5 years. Its so bad, I do not accept trade in's anymore unless I have record of them buying that exact model from me. If they bought used, or from another company, they can trade in to those people.
It is a terrible problem folks, be super cautious on this...
