Authentic wartlme Ushanka?

[Poteto]

Hello everyone,

I have come by this supposedly WW2 Ushanka on the internet for a very interesting price and would like to know if it is indeed an authentic one. The markings on it say that it is said to have been made around 1941 but I am not enough of an expert on such items to be sure of its authenticity. I hope that you can therefore help me on that matter.

Many thanks

Unequivocally, it's a reproduction.

If it was inexpensive, and if the sale is final, it would be a perfect headwear for winter. I utilize one myself when I clear the snow from the drive and walk during the really cold days of winter.

Hello,

In my opinion it's a bulgarian ushanka from 50's. The stamp is obviously faked. I have an identical one, with the same stamp but without star (i think they come all from the same bulgarian seller on ebay).
I paid about 15 euro shipped for mine, it's still a nice item (i think also a good base to modify for reenactment)...very small size, maybe they shrunk a bit due to long storage's time.
Anyway, definetely not an autentic WWII ushanka ;D

Best regards
Gabriele
