It has the correct wartime lining pattern, which is a positive sign to me, though I know nothing about the stamp on the inside. I would wait on maybe another reply as I have not handled many of these. In my opinion, a good wartime piece. Again though, I'd wait for another reply
I think it's a nice original postwar ushanka. The stamp looks like those in postwar caps. Can't find the link so quick with the wartime and postwar stamps unfortunately. Perhaps anyone here remembers where to find these stamps online?
Thank you both for your observations.
Some post war stamps shown here:
An older ushanka for review
Not this one though.
I did see this thread, Thank you. Do you think the ushanka I posted is immediate postwar 1940's or 50"s or much later ?
Thanks Boycie. I was looking for a link outside the War Relics forum where a summary of stamps was shown but just can't find it anymore.
My gut feel is immediate post war. I don't think it's Krasniy Voin but the stamp is the same shape as one of theirs from 1950ish. Those large style stamps with diamonds or triangles became more popular post war.
Thank you for your insight
Looks pretty good, and has correct ushanka stitching.
