The buttons can be shiny over a 70 years, but the construction and doubts constructed novadays 4 pannels budionovka is early one, but I've never seen 6 pannel liner...
Nice collection UHU. Ask Vodila to show his collection.
Can you show your Navy cap, which is upper on the picture?

I agree with Uhu. These look fishy to me. I've got an original late model 1939 stamped budenovka and it is made from 6 panels like those in Uhu's photos rather than the 4 panels like those that came from the "experts" at the Max Show. The gold buttons on the first one look like they were made yesterday. The cloth stars on both look very crude also.

I got mine from a reputable antique dealer in Samara, Russia and it looks like Uhu's on the left.

Please, can and will you show your example?

WOW !!!

What a subject ! Everyone has a different opinion. I think I will
side with the men that wrote the "SOVIET UNIFORMS BOOK."

No offence

Hi Matt, I do not own one of these caps yet, but I have handed a few good ones, plus many repros.

I honestly have doubts about both of yours for the reasons already given.

Cheers, Ade.
