Hi Guys:

I am presenting my latest acquisition. It is, except best judgement of the experts on this forum, a hat ceremony 1955/69 period general medical / veterinary branch, with a beautiful silver embroidered on the visor and tape.
The embroidery is a little rusty. How can clean?

Greetings and good luck to all

The Cockade is two totally gold pieces with the red star as an independent.

I am not an expert in hats, but as for me this hat is 100% fake.
1. The hat badge (cocarde) is not General's
2. It looks like it was made yesterday, but not 40-50 years ago
I hope I am wrong.

ericlida,
Of course, thank you for your opinion

Nefert,

I think the cap is OK, I would not worry if it were mine...the cap badge is the regular generals postwar cap badge, the embroidery looks ok, etc. Its in god condition, but does show some tarnishing and that is natural. I really see nothing to say its a copy / fake / repro.

whats the 2 digit date below MOCKBA? It looks to be there, but I can't make it out.

:)I agree with Doug on this one as well. The only thing I find interesting is all of the smaller stampings inside. Most if not all of the Soviet General officer visors I have seen rarely show stamps like this one does.

The stamps are inventory stamps, i have seen them before. No big deal..its a neat cap..I had an M1945 like this once, loved the color combo.

Thank you for your views and forgive the delay in reply, but this weekend we have "escaped" from the heat of Seville and been at the beach.

To purchase caps with the highest assurance that no copies are true and more or less developed, I continue these criteria:
1 .- We learned in this forum
2 .- The seller is trusted (and any)
3 .- That when I bought it, the feeling is to consider "authentic".
Anyway surprisingly, the existence of many hats, especially general, which are "new" or have not had barely use. I understand that it is not used and remained in military warehouses until collections were made with them. I am sending a photo of another cap overall 1955/69 aspect of "completely new".

I will follow your advice and not clean (NO LO LABARÉ) embroidery.

Regards,
