    Description

    This auction is for a Soviet Russian Red Army soldier's hat which was worn during the Russian Civil War.  The orange star (as I believe) means that the hat belonged to somebody enlisted in the artillery regiment of the Red Army. Although there is no date on the budenovka, the year can be determined by the symbol on the hat, which is that of a hammer and plow.  This was the symbol of Soviet Russia prior to 1922, when the classic hammer and sickle symbol became their new official emblem.  Trotsky once complained about Red Army soldiers, saying they "They would rather give their life than clean their rifle".  To the Red Army's credit, they overcame near impossible odds to defeat the Whites in the Russian Civil War.  You can tell by the feel of the hat this it is 100% original.  The cloth that made this hat is no longer able to be produced anywhere in the world.  The hat is in outstanding condition for its age, definitely museum quality.  This has been a part of my son's collection for many years.  Please see pictures for the condition of the hat.  If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures, please ask.  This comes from a smoke free home.
