Papaha prices? - Commissar - 07-10-2009

Hi guys.
Another question.

How much do papaha winter hats usually sell for?

I am looking at a Soviet militia papaha and I was wondering if 180 bucks is too much? :)

As I collect militia items I am ecstatic about it, both because it could be a valuable piece in my collection and I could even wear it during the winter on occasion! :D

Thanks guys.

Lonny.

I have an army one that I can sell at that price, if interested, however I also have a militia generals papahka that I can sell at 275 USD.

Hey guys. :)

Thanks for the feedback.

Here are some photos of the hat Im lookin at.
What do you guys think?
Authentic?
If it is, should I buy it?
If I don't, will I regret it forevers? :O

Lonny.

That's a lotta Loonies! There's a variation on the spelling of that name* (that I can't think of at the moment) that I've used to search for those exact hats. I love 'em!! If I lived somewhere cold I'd have one of those and a Budnikova (sp) as well....and I'd wear 'em proudly!

*Papakha or papakhi or kubanka after an internet search.

It is a lotta loonies! :D
But if its a lotta loonies well spent then I won't regret not buying it!

What do you think of it?

Tretov's (Militia General) is better, always go with the nicer one.

Ah, but is it a size 60? :o

Such a conundrum!
I wish I had a smaller head.

It is "papakha" - had no other name and spelling. Russian "papakha" came from turkish "papakh" - cap.
"Kubanka" is different type you can see on Victory Parade photo.
