Fake Cheka cap on E - DougD - 08-28-2005
First, anyone who thinks they can get a genuine leather Cheka cap for $55 should be in a mental home...they are making repros of these hats in large numbers, not so much to fake collectors ( i have had in 3 originals and they are pretty easy to tell from the fakes) but for tourists and such who pick them up in Kiev or Moscow. This guy says the one he has is real; he is either misteken, or trying to pull a fast one.
