Cheka Cap
Here is a nice example of a circa 1920s Cheka-OGPU (or political commissar) cap. Good shape for its age, but does show some water damage/wear.
Sometimes these caps, which look like leather, were black cloth mixed with leather parts. I am told that was common for Cheka guys to mix the cloth and leather caps, often using civilian caps with the badge added. The badges were either the hammer/plow (often very crudely made with hand painted backing) or the fat early star with hammer and sickle. DD |
