Armored Troop Budenovka?
Hi all- what are your guys' thoughts on this Armored troop Budenovka? If I am going, to be honest, I wish I knew more about what to look out for on these (as most of you know I mainly focus on orders, medals, and steel helmets). I tried doing some independent research and compared this one to known/confirmed real examples, and it seems that the star cockade matches that of a real one, and I have also noticed that on all the real examples I've found and compared this to, they all have 6 stitching "lines" going across on the visor part, and this one does as well (the replicas that I have seen don't have exactly 6 which is why I make this point- not saying that because this has 6 stitching 'lines' it is real though...).
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the color/material looks correct and the star stitching also looks correct when compared to multiple known armored Budenovkas that have sold on Espenlaub. I personally think that this could potentially be a real one, but I am not knowledgeable enough on Budenovkas yet and would like to see what you guys think. And if it is a fake, what made you guys think that? For example, what stuck out?
Thank you all.
Regards,
Nikita.

Hello Nikita,
As Verikauha said, ABTV model should be steel gray,
The one you are showing could be original, model 27. In my opinion the cloth star is not original, but stiched later (maybe to restore it). The interior doesnt convince me completely, but it could be simply caused by poor pictures.
Remember that the black star could indicate also other branches (artillery - technical - chemical). Also, remember that such hats were made also in ther postwar years for the theaters, there are very good examples made in the 50s.
Best regards
Gabriele

Thank you guys both for the information! May I ask, do you guys have a book on the different types of Budenovkas, and if so, what is it called? I would really like to get me a book on this matter to further expand my knowledge on them. Thank you.
(PS- how many models are there, and what are some of the differences?)
Regards,
Nikita.
