Tobias--
That is the wartime Erel logo, but remaining stocks were used postwar.
It is one of 2 things--a wartime shako that was utilized postwar by removing the felt (however, this leaves a dimpled appearance);
or it is a shako made and utilized during the 1945-49 period, that had TR insignia put on by an unscrupulous seller.
Personally, I vote the latter.

Hello stonemint,
is there an explanation why both of the lugs have brackets?
