Aeroflot Uniforms and Insignia

Tal Inbar · 03-01-2003, 10:58 AM

I was wondering if someone collects Aeroflot items. Since there was no logo change after the Soviet Union period, is it possible to know what the uniform's period is?

I think it is a great design:

And the hat, from a seller we all know:

the regular b-------t from this ebay seller:

"Here we're offering Russian Civil Aviation AEROFLOT visor hat. It is not today's one, but rather from the highly collectible Soviet period. Such hats are not made any more (during my last trip to Russia I've found several of them at Baltic Fleet warehouse - strange place to keep Civil Aviation hats!). "

And of course, nothing to do with authentic hat:

Hi Guys

What do you have to say about this cap.
Age ?
Originality?
Colour?

Sory I just have this scan

Ah, you just beat me! I was scanning the same page, but cut it up a bit. I'll post close up pics later this week i hope. I really would like to see how the cap badge is attached and the makers label itself.

There has to be a chart of Aeroflot rank and uniform from the 1930's and 1940's somewhere! For example, was there an Aeroflot General (i know they would not use that term) uniform in 1945? I know the head of Aeroflot had an air marshals rank in the red air force, but what about his 'generals'?

Guys,

Just a quick question on that one (not trying to copy Wendy's commercials): where's the wear? The lining is simply brand spanking new, same for the ink, as well as whatever else can be seen.

Here is another example; I really do not think these followed any hard regulations early on. Sorry that the flash sort of bleached out the insignia.

Shows some wear inside, with moderate wear to the lining.

Wow, that is a fine prize! :D Very good construction.
I did not even know Aeroflot used their own buttons, I assumed they used army buttons, just like the Militia.

Sebastien,

You have a very nice 1973-1990 senior officers visor cap; probably un-issued and lacking a chin cord and buttons, so they simply borrowed an army officers chin cord and buttons. A really nice cap and a great value for your money.
