Hi. I recently bought two chairs that I assumed were Bertoia knock-offs. They were from Craig's list and very inexpensive (the seller didn't claim anything one way or another; she got them in 2003 from her office that was closing), but it seems that several things about the chairs suggest they are potentially real. However, there are no markings on the chairs and only one came with a pad which looks authentic, but no markings on that either.
13 squares across the back. The metal tapers over the top, etc.
Thanks for any thoughts!

Looks good to me. Knoll didnt start stamping these chairs until very recently and the seat bracket mounting the base to the chair has changed serveral times through the course of production).
Very fine wire wool, auto-sol (chrome polish) and a bit of elbow grease works a treat for getting rid of the pitting and bringing the chair back to life!
Additional images
Here are the images you asked for of whole chair from different angles. Thanks everyone.
