Today I received the Russian WWII M40 field visor hat I bought from http://www.aboutww2militaria.com "Red Army militaria". This is my first Russian hat and it will be on display with my M36 Russian helmet.
I am very happy with the hat. The soldier has placed a steel thread inside to keep the hat`s shape. The thread is rusty and gives the hat personality. It was dirty and dusty so I had to give it a careful wash with a soft moist cloth and warm water (no soap!).
Now the hat is ready for display
