    Authentic or Repro's Russian Cards Hat

    Hello from a novice! I have several items I came across but cannot find identical items on the internet nor do I have a local source to ask. Your site came highly recommended.

    I have a budenovka hat and a deck of cards.

    The hat is heavy wool with a machine sewn red wool star. It has black painted metal buttons, lost top button, hand sewn-in liner. No markings can be seen. This hat does not have red piping.

    Deck of 36 cards; box is marked 1942 with a Russian soldier illustration on the front.

    Are these reproductions? Should I just donate them or do they have some value? Is there a source I can look at examples? Many thanks!

    Please note I am unable to post attachments today due to site restrictions (?)

          Reproduction cards but cool for a reenactor. Couldn't get the hat to show up on my screen.

            Cap is bad modern reproduction.
            Cards are usual playing cards produced in USSR and still produced in Russia but playing cards were never produced for RKKA and case is modern item made for turists.
