M1945 Victory Parade Service Cap
To all:
A very unusual M1945 VP service cap that was recently listed on a well-known auction site. Seller indicated it was for a NKVD transportatation corps general officer. I thought the cloth aficionados among you would enjoy seeing it. It sold for $850.00. This only goes to show that the occasional "diamond in the rough" can be had on the oft-maligned auction site!

cap
It is for Transportation units of the NKVD-MGB; it was first used in 1948 when the Victory Parade uniforms of the MGB finally were issued to Generals. There are two examples like this in my book.
The price is a giveaway for one of the rarest caps known. DD |

Concur. Only the M1945 VP service cap for a MSU is rarer/more desireable for most collectors.
