Hi Jamie
Looks like a reproduction to me..sorry mate just my opinion...
Thank you Lt Col. I'm hoping it's not. I haven't parted with any scheckles yet and am waiting on Bill Unland to chip in, think he had about 20 of these at one point.
Best regards
Mr
Jamie
This would be one for the vents-specialists - with a close-up of the vents they can tell whether they are period or not, I am no specialist for Bergmützen, sorry.
SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST! Must have touched a button too early.

Here is an example which was identified as fake: Bergmütze for Review (post # 1)
compared to what was considered original: Bergmütze - named/unit marked (post # 18).
Vents per se are not a guarantee for authenticity. As I wrote on the forum across the water, the issue is the manufacturing details of the inside of the earflaps which are typical of an M43 field cap, not of a Bergmütze. I’m not keen on this specimen.
