I don't think I got bamboozled, it was only 15 smackaroos though, so I'm kinda going hmmmm

even if it's authentic, it's not that big of a deal really
smackaroos being usd?

Pin should be something like this.

>>3262214
looks as if it was painted over at some point. you may want to try stripping the paint to see if there is anything under it. if not just repaint it yourself. nice find btw OP

rare handmade gulag pin, congrats anon!

>>3262214
It could an authentic pin that was in a poor state and was repainted by a downie. Or a slav.

>try stripping the paint
No, just no you stupid cunt!

whats the harm?

>>3262441
Yup.

>>3262506
there is nothing under it, it was repaired. Damaging it will make it worthless. this way it is a nice single piece with a story and if OP wants a undamaged pin he can get one for a dollar or so on ebay.

Nah, fairly certain it's an authentic cap with either a shitty replacement, or full on fake pin.

Also got this for like five smackaroonies, I don't care if it's authentic or not, but I'm still struggling to find info, I know they're mosin ammo pouches, but are they during, or post WW2?

Cool piece of militaria anon , I myself bought some Italian WW2 breda magazine carriers.

well he could repaint it himself decently, but buying a replacement is a better idea

Obviously fake communism only produces the highest quality goods and services due to no profit motive or unnecessary competition
