Soviet WW2 Ushanka?

**Mosin1942** · 11-30-2017, 06:47 PM

I am considering this cap for my collection,
Outer body is grey brushed cotton, Fur is correct type,pile and color
Inner crown has the standard 4 sets of 3 parallel lines.
And the cap it's self is obvious vintage and salty but over all intact.

From my studies of original ushankas this one looks good,
but I strongly value the opinions and knowledge of this forum
What do you guys say?

Here are some pics of my M40 to compare

Looks like a good salty ushanka. I prefer these over any mint cap....it shows real character.
