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
