Hi!
I've made some research and, thanks to the great help of some fellow collectors of mongolian people army badges, i figured out that the cockade on this budenovka is an early postwar one (1946-195X if i'm correct).
I've also managed to read part of the inscriptions inside of it: in the bigger "block", it seems to be written "Ulan-Ude", capital of the Buryat ASSR (Verkhneudinsk until July 27, 1934). In the other "block" of words, it seems to be written Čojbalsan (!?) (i think it was a common name at that time).
Also, the other pair of buttons are post-war, made of brass with ussr coat of arms, dated respectively 1952 and 1956.
In a hypothetical way, could this budenovka be of a soldier (maybe NCO?) who used it also after the end of the war? (so explaining the presence of a variety of buttons, maybe replaced in the years?)
Any opinion is welcome
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum Gabriele.
Sorry no one replied on this piece. I wish I could help but not my area. Hopefully someone will be around to provide some information.

First set of buttons are for RAILWAYS.
It is an old hypothesis that they were for Red Army "Technical Troops".
In any case, I like this piece - despite any later modifications.
I'm sure guys like Dom and Philippe would agree.

When the Soviets invaded Latvia in 1940 the population of Latvia called soldiers wearing these ''augÅ¡ā puļķīts, apakÅ¡ā muļķīts'' which roughly translates to: ''on top there's a pike on the bottom there's a dummy''
