    This is my very small WWII collection of four items.

    I have a TT-33 pistol holster, two RGD-33 stick grenade bags, and a pilotka hat,
    topped off with a sack bag. (Actual name I do not know)

    Yes.... Disregard the left half of the grenade bag pic. ^^' None of those existed then.

    There should be some ink stamps inside which will include a date.

    Bot 100% sure but think the badge on WW2 caps was green?

    Thanks... There is a stamp on the inside... *checks* And I think it depends on the branch of the Soviet war machine, cause the was both green and red if memory serves. :?

    The Meshok (back pack) is post war too, I'm afraid. The pocket + staps for the attached poncho are 1950s' manufacture.

    I agree with Gulf91, the pilotka looks post-war (any time up to the mid '80s). Second World War red stars do exist, but they were designed for pre-war/parade cap/ushanka use. All Great Patriotic War ones should be green, though they aren't always. When they are coloured they are pretty crude/not enamelled).

    Must agree on the point that stars on WW2 pilotka were green. Red ones only for parade dress or officers and NKVD caps.

    Best regards

    No, no and no. Red Stars was before war and in war on pilotka's. Green Stars was in issue since 1941, after start of war.

    Pics? Why pics? I seen orders about uniform and etc. And seen a lot of digged Red Stars (which was in good condition) from remnants.
    And something like this
    http://rkka.ru/uniform/files/btv14.htm
    Just goodle this, and you will see. Red Stars used always and everywhere, since 1917. Green Stars was not so popular and nice, like Red.
