Astrakhan Hat

[popskipa]

I need the assistance of the forum regarding this hat please.

There are no issue markings.

Is it original? Who wore it, Cossacks? What date, is it WWII?

Thank you for looking, Keith

I am in no way an expert on these but in my opinion the inside lining shows different sewing than what I am used to see. Hope to learn more here from more experienced collectors.

Any other comments please?

This is so-called kubanka hat (from river Kuban), worn by ww2 (red) cossacs. Looks pretty worn, but I'm no expert in these regarding authenticity.

Is this cap original WWII?

Thank you for looking, Keith
