Romanian navy cap - post 1989?

This cap was described to me as "communist" at the same time it was desribed as "from 1989". I understand that romanian politics were complicated after 1989, but still, what would be the period for this cap?

I know little about these, but it does not have the communist coat-of-arms, so it's post-1989.

Thanks! I had this feeling but could neither confirm, nor deny it.

Could You possibly help me with the uniform from the other thread?
I understand that uniforms may not be Your speciality, but You are more likely to find any inf than I. The only book in Poland that gives some info on romanian uniforms doesn't even cover this period...:(

RSR Air Force Visor Cap

Hello friends

Have you more information about this RSR visor cap? In my opinion AIR FORCE but has the AIR FORCE also different line colours (blue, light blue etc.)?

Thank you

Re: RSR Air Force Visor Cap

The cap is that of an Air Force Colonel; the cap insignia with two rows of leaves around the seal would be correct for ranks Lieutenant through Colonel, but the leaves on the visor make it a Colonel's cap. Insofar as I am able to determine, there were no "branch" colours in the aviation service, so the medium blue colour with the lighter blue piping was standard throughout that branch of service.

Re: Romanian Visor Caps

Nice cap collection, Doug. With regard to the Communist period caps, is that a Fireman's (Pompieri) cap in the middle? The red looks nearly like faded maroon and the badge looks to be gold plated.

Re: Romanian Visor Caps

Hi Greg,

I think that middle cap is (though damaged) Romanian Army Medical service, but am not 100% sure. Do you think it is fire service?
