1856 RUSSIAN SOLDIER HAT FROM THE SOVIET UNION ERA
THE DATE OF THE YEAR THE HAT WAS MADE IS INSIDE AND CLEARLY STATES IT WAS MADE IN 1856 THE HAT WAS KEPT IN PERFECT CONDITION THE HAT IS MADE OF 100% WOOL THIS IS A RARE ITEM A MUST FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO COLLECT RUSSIAN ANTIQUE
(the image does just show a photo of the stampings inside)
I didn't know the Soviet Union was that old maybe they worked under-cover!
Actually, from what I can see of the stamp, and judging by the "MDI" marking (the german acronym for "Ministry of the Interior"), I'm willing to bet that it is an East German (DDR) Grenztruppen ushanka. I have seen this "1856" inkstamp before. I believe it may be a factory code, of some sort. At any rate, a $5-$10.00 hat, TOPS!!
I CAN'T believe that this seller couldn't tell the difference between an almost 150 year old cap, and one around fifteen years old. Some sellers REALLY must think people are stupid!! :hurl :hurl :hurl
I think this one was a bit funny at least. Looks interesting

Great looking and 100% fake but only those who are VERY good at uniforms would know. Many of the badges and medals are real but the medal bar is not. Trousers are 38 with dark blue piping. I used for Halloween throughout the eighty's and caused a sensation. Easy to fool 99% of the people. Add a hat ...cheap these days for better show.Size is large about 44/46. Answer any questions, will not be able to ship before June 11 Thank you for looking...good luck
