Muh Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) I Couldn't Find And Guide/Tips Online For Og Partisan Titovkas. Soo Why don't We Make One?! I Will Start Off, I Was Offered This One, I Asked For Few Opinions.. I Got Some Positive Ones, But Mostly Negative (That Its A Movie Prop) Mostly Cuz Of The Stamp Inside (The Stamp Itself, And No Wear) If Someone Thinks Otherwise I Would Love To Hear The Opinions!

El Ninja Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Well, those where almost always made by hand, so they vary in appearance quite a bit. That only makes them easier to fake, unfortunately. Find some online sources for testing the fabric for age, it is the only way to be half certain.

Muh Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 @El Ninja Your 100% right, i just wanted to try and point out some (obvious) red flags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugo Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hello Muh, I don't see any obvious red flags with your cap. Fabric, inner lining, black thread, red star cloth are all consistent with a late war or early post war titovka. That said, most of the ones I've seen had no stamps. The stamps themselves certainly indicate that this specimen was never really used, as they tended to disappear rather quickly with wear and sweat. It could also be a movie prop, I'm not ruling that out. Finally, it could even be an original military titovka that ended up as movie prop, since the JA was very much involved in supporting the movie industry, both through their own productions (Zastava Film) and state film productions (Avala Film). When Avala Film went bankrupt in the mid 2000s, many such scene costumes and accessories came out. It's hard to tell what's what nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I Forgot To Follow Up On The Post, This was a Titovka i was considering to buy, but i decided to try and find a different one.. Thankfully i ran into 2 nice examples and one of the sellers i got a Titovka from, said that he got many of his from one of the places where a movie was filmed. Stamps are 100% a indicator of a movie used one but it doesn't mean that its not a real one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugo Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Thanks for the followup muh. When I have time I will check my wartime examples to see if they have stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
