PapaStalin, I'm like you, I really want to like it, but my goodness those pictures are terrible. They are either blurry or in bad light.
If I had to judge based on these pictures, though, I would give it two thumbs up. Shell/star are 100% good, liner looks fine (is the drawstring present?), shape and stitching on that chinstrap match the one I posted a while back.
Please do post better pictures if you get them, and like you I would also like to see the date/size stamp. Thanks and good luck, let us know if you get it.

I have asked them for pictures but forgot to tag the item # so I resent them an email today asking for more photos of the liner and stamp
-
Even with bad pictures that looks like a pretty good candidate to me.

Like colleagues, even with these photos this helmet makes a good impression.
The term "Blockadnik" is often used to rightly or wrongly designate a helmet that has been repaired
Also request a full side view (2nd photo) .

They just got back to me and told me that they had already sold it
They should really invest in a new camera, as all of their pictures are grainy and fogged like these.
They have a Budenovka for sale that looks interesting, to say the least. I have asked for better pictures of that as well. I'm not well educated on those, so I really have no clue about it, but I am very suspicious of it as the lining seems to be made out of something similar to a tablecloth material, which has a very Russian-ESC pattern on it. I will post it in a new thread once I receive new and clearer images, that is if it isn't sold already (they seem to have a bad habit of not marking their items as sold on their website).

Bummer. Who is the seller, and how much did it go for?
-
It was from a guy who runs a website called oakleafmilitaria. You can still see the helmet right now, as he hasn't marked it as sold. It went for a mere $800. I hear they are now worth around $1000. The Budenovka for $250, and if I am not wrong, seems to be the 1922 model?
Edit: He just responded saying that the Budenovka has also been sold and that he will remove both listings from his website. Should I save the Budenovka photos so that (if real) they can be 'studied' in the future?

Regarding to the inside of the budenovka, which... I found "Interesting."
Anyways, I found a thread with a budenovka almost exactly like it.
Anyways, here's the link-> Interesting budenovka
