The Ushanka hat is Russian. Most likely civvy.

The belt might just be Soviet Army, certainly not German. But I have not seen a tab like this before on an issue belt. May well be civvy too.

Cheers, Ade.

thank you Ade and whats your opinion on the Lufty air gunners gauntlets? you think i made my 24 pound back on it all then haha if i do clean it up who's to say really that any winter gear wouldnt have been utilised in Russia by German troops, strange period have seen some really bizarre pics from the eastern front.....

The gloves are a bit outside of my collecting interests and experience.

I think the price was fine overall.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade after a few days cleaning and restoring and scraping muck off delicately, on the tongue of the belt was a maker mark its definately German but what? can make out some of the letters second word looks like WIEN then theres the 110 for length belt measures 110 cm after measuring am glad but has it been altered hence the roller buckle its a strange one maybe somebody can make anything off the 2 pics.

Thanks

Jon
