Re: Professional Technical School cap
now here it goes for my specimen of this very cap.
as you all can see in the pictures mine had the wrong badge. i have changed this to the correct one already.:thumbsup altough my cap has the overall look of the one above, mine has some different things i had never seen before. 1.the buttons are of a kind made out of plastic with a brass ring. they seem to match the color of the cap, and look to have always been there. 2.the inside is also different from other soviet caps. the diamond is way different and makes me think it is definitely post soviet. the sweatband it of a felt material i have never seen before in use for this purpose. the band is stamped with the inventory tag like soviet caps always had. any thoughts on this cap or more new information is very welcome !! many thanks ser-g |

Re: Professional Technical School cap
Perhaps the techical schools had different buttons?
I cant imagine that all across the Soviet Union everything would remain the same and uniformed, of course I am probably wrong to say that. But it does look very nice, I am unsure of the sweat diamond though... |

Re: Professional Technical School cap
If it´s late production there should be no objections. But yes, it´s rather disturbing to see this diamond. It´s the first time I see such sloppily mounted one, assuming this cap is nost post-soviet manufacture.

Re: Professional Technical School cap
It is pretty sloppy, it doesnt really sit too well with me.
but who knows! Maybe somebody who knows a little bit more about this type of hat will shed some light on it. :) |

is is the rather rough sewing ? i have a cap with a similar diamond in design. it is a 1988 dated mvd parade cap. it has the same O= sign on it, and is typical op late soviet production. the label on this very cap (gray ptu) is worn, some writhing has worn. and combined with the material of sweat band and diamond i think it is most likely very late or post soviet.

Re: Professional Technical School cap
the writing in the diamond is not wrong, but the shape and sewing of the diamond looks like it was made in a hurry.

Re: Professional Technical School cap
i see and understand your point.
i think your right that it is not up to standard of soviet time. one reason more that i think it is post soviet. there was a educated guess made, this type of cap only came in to existence on or about 1990 by undertheredstar.com. so it fits. Last edited by Ser-g; 05-27-2009 at 04:03 PM. |

Re: Professional Technical School cap
Ha! I tried to win that one! Congrats!
The buttons and label look a bit funny, but the overall construction of the hat looks good and sound. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's not an easy one to find! |

Re: Professional Technical School cap
so you were the one that drove the price up :P
still 47,- euro ist bad i think (65 us) included shipping. i don't really worry about this particular cap, it is perfectly okay for a very late or post soviet cap. i just wanned to share this one since it is kinda rare and a different variation of the known caps of this type. and maybe in the progress getting to know a bit more about it. |
