Soviet Fur Hat Era help please

[Bob Hritz]

The top is maroon with black piping. I am inable to read any markings in the cap.

The front flap folds down and is held, in place, by two hook and eye fittings on either side.

Thank you for any help.

Concerning the markings on the liner it looks to me more like a postwar stampings. howewer the top of the cap construction looks good to me. It is a really rare item to make a decission, even I have newer owned a real example, but eximined a couple of times. The fur looks like natural, but on the original example with that kind of markings it most be a fake fur. The cap must be hand inspected...

That's great Dimas... but what the hell is it. No one on the WAF forums seems to know. Tall and flat on top with color like a Cossak Pahapka, but with drop sides like a Finka.
