NKVD General's Visors.
The brim has some damage, but still a very rare cap. Has NKVD colors with generals embroidery, etc.

As promised--I am posting my NKVD 1943 general's cap. The lacquer on the brim is flaking off like nobody's business, but other than that, the cap is nearly perfect. Enjoy!

Hi Lee,
Nice cap, I'm jealous :p Are you sure it's a M43? I personally would have thought M45, but then again, I am not too knowledgeable in this area. Could you please explain why it is an NKVD cap? I would have thought infantry as it is wave-blue with red piping. Marc Last edited by Lapa; 03-27-2004 at 01:58 PM. |

Thanks Lee, the color really got me confused. Looking at Doug's pictures, I see that it is of a very different shade of blue.

Yeah, that's my digital camera again, I think. The blue is deeper than seen in the pics here.

NKVD Generals caps:side by side
Just an interesting shot showing the service NKVD generals cap, and the parade NKVD generals cap,side by side.
The parade cap is an M1943, as parade caps with embroidery only came out in 1943. The service cap is not an M1943 as there was not really an M1943 service cap, the service cap was introduced in 1940 and is an M1940. DougD |
