ehrentitle Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited April 14, 2006 by ehrentitle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehrentitle Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) Would this have been worn by a general officer with the field uniform or just senior officers below the grade of General like a Colonel?
