Found an Uncommon Cap
Hey all-
I recently bought this cap online. It's a 1992-dated student's cap. These don't come around too often. I know the star isn't supposed to be there. I think it's interesting how the sweatband is a stiff felt-like material rather than the usual kind. A few questions: Does anyone know what the grey color combo means (versus the blue usually seen)? And, does anyone know where I can find the right badge for it? |

Re: Found an Uncommon Cap
So no one knows what the color combination means or where the correct cockade can be found?
The rest of the cap displays all the Soviet-era features so it's not really similar to modern Russian Federation caps... |

Re: Found an Uncommon Cap
What is the date on the label?
The cap looks like alate variant (1989-early 1990s) cap for students of the technical profesional schools - I would guess the badge should have shield with letters "PTU" in a wreath, they are fairly common (and offered more often than the caps themselves), but don't know where You can get one right now. |

Well, a rather insignificant-on-the-global-scale socio-political event occured on 26 December 1991... :rolleyes: :laff

In one year a lot can change in the world. Sadly for the Soviet Military Awards Page Forum, one years difference means a post getting buried as a thread in a forum that no one looks at. Oh well.;) |

Re: Found an Uncommon Cap
It is a shame that so many are blinkered.
A bad workman always blames the tools.
