Heer M34 Feldmutze: Opinions please. Is this real or repro?

[Rangergul]

Hi. I have always presumed this was a repro, and was going to use it at re-enactments but never did. However, I have always wondered if this is original due to the rayon type material inside? All my friends repros do not have such material inside.

Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

is that a split/segmented grommet,...mine all have split/segmented,.....

[Rangergul]

Grommet is not split or segmented.

I am no expert on these, I have only two m34's. Both have the bevo cocade and the grommets look to be split or segmented. They are very tight and nothing like a DAK grommet. I would lean towards repo.

It is indeed a repro.

Cheers, Ade.
