:thumbsup Another nice piece! The OGPU stamp is a nice touch as well.

Isn't funny how Russian caps went from such small crowns as in the above example to the HUGE ones we see today?

:) I like the small crown look!

I'm sure alot of people prefer the small crown to the bin lids we see today.
Then again I have one on my head right now...
