Is this close enough to a WW2 bergen for a 'looks like'? Airsoft, I should add, not re-enactment. [link]http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=264233134[/link]

It looks pretty much spot on to me...

Go for it. :)

I'd say it'll do nicely for re-enactment as well! :)

Awesome. Auction closes on payday. Auspicious, I hope. 8)

Looks very close to a late war (green canvas, rather than the earlier tan) to me indeed! It might even be an original from a Commonwealth country.

To be honest it could even be a proper army one. I think the missing info will be in the internals. All the external stuff seems to be right to me.

Unfortunately, I will never be able to tell, someone obviously wanted it very badly. I had a few bids, but it went for quite a bit in the end.

NZ$152 = UK£70...

Yeah... that's a good price for a proper one. I've seen them higher in shops, but those were silly prices.

Decided to order a KD shirt and repro BD trousers instead. Sometimes it's better to lose :)
