    Russian 1980s Astrakhan Wool Ushanka


    Recommended Posts

    I just purchased a very inexpensive Russian Astrakhan Wool Ushanka. I think part of the reason it was inexpensive is that it has some mothing. It is date marked inside 84 and size 60 with the outline of a rams head and horns. Although I have quite a bit of Soviet insignia including officer and enlisted Ushanka's that I picked up in the 80s in Berlin, I've not come across one of these before. Does anyone have and idea of worth and who these were worn by. Kevin

    Usualy private purchased in "Voentorg" shops by Soviet Army senior officers up to Podpolkovnik (Lt Col).

    Also worn by enlisted and NCO from ceremonial units (Rota pochetnogo karaula)

    And officers in small ranks - if they father was general - can weaar it too.
