Really nice !
I was sure that some winter stuff soviet made was "captured" by Germans.
It certainly was: orders went out that captured Soviet Ushankas were not to be worn at home on leave.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Cool Thread...I clearly recall my German Oma telling me that my Grandfather came back from the war wearing one, ("Wie'n Russ'"/"Like a Russian")...
I looked all over the basement for it, but it was already gone, lol...
cheers, Glenn
very nice find.
Interesting photo thanks for linking !by MAP
Whoever captured this sure took good care of it, If I recall correctly, the seller I bought this from acquired it in Germany so i'd bet it's a vet bringback.
I read on here Samoilova was in Leningrad region, I wonder if it was captured on that front? Can only guess
Cut from a trapezoid I assume? I used to own one with metal insignia - Heer eagle and the cockarde less the wreath.
Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam!
I just took a quick peak and you can see the remnant of green fabric around the edges of the cockade, Left from when it was cut out i'm sure
