Blue general parade cap, ok?
Can anoyone tell me from this bad quality picture, if the cap is ok, or if it is a fake one?
The price is USD 130.- |

I think the cap is good, but probably unissued storage production.
The embroidery is not as shiny as on the common 99 USD fakes. It has nice shape! |

Thanks for your help Tretov!
I am interested in this cap because I want to complete one of my uniforms, a one star grey walking-out one, air-force. If I am right, the grey cap was used until the beginning of the 80's, and after that moment, the normal parade cap was used... the green for the Armed Forces, and the blue for the Air Force. The uniform I have, is dated 82, so the cap shown at the beginning af this thread would be the correct one? For information, that was the grey cap I was talking about... very bad picture...

I do also have a such set; it was one of the first I bought. While the left side is a mess with different holes all over, the ribbon bar is nice and I believe it to be correct. I once had a photo of the uniform when it had all badges, but the guy that sold it to me stripped it of all badges :rant: Plus, someone has at some stage poured coffee over it. :confused:
Anyway, what I was to say... hmm. My one is from the seventies and has the gray cap. |

If you find your picture again, I am interested in seeing it! because it is quite rare to find this type of uniform with all the badges. The only illustration I have is in the military manual... :rolleyes:
Do you know where I could get the information I am looking for (picutre or text)? to know exactly which cap has to go with the uniform... because I don't want especially to buy an "incorrect" cap... |

It will surely be a challenge to find that image, I have had three different hard drives in my computers since... perhaps it is still located on my old computer. I will check when I get home to Finland later during the week.
