If this was the entirely olive drab green G.O. "field" service cap I would certainly agree with you. As you know, those used the "flat" leather chin strap that was also dyed olive drab green. Regards, slava1stclass |

cap
The black flat chin cords were done on generals service caps; i have had in a few examples (as has Clete) and here are numerous photos of them being worn with this style of service cap.

General
This guy is not big into regulations, but it shows the service hat with the black flat chin strap (i think he is pushing his luck using it as a parade cap!).

pics
No problem; most of my books are in the attic, but I was able to find these shots...The Bagramyan one is a good clear one. I still think, like clete, that it was uncommon for generals to wear the black cap cords rather than the gold.
The first shot shows how regulations are nice, but not the end all, be all, of what actually was done. DougD |

more
As I was going through 8 years of photos the past two days ( a few long and dull flights to kill on the laptop) i found a few more.
The first is a nice example for an Armor General, the second an example for the Red Air Force. DougD |
