General visor caps

Esteban_cool · 03-25-2008, 01:40 PM

These are the last additions to my visor cap collection. Finally I got some more general´s items! I particularly love the embroidery work:)
Both cockades are two-piece construction, painted.

Allow me to show them to you and please let me know any comments about them. Got them at a quite good price so I have a little doubt.

leather sweatbands and maker´s labels. The army cap is dated 1977, but the air force cap shows no date.

Nice caps! Way to go! Once you start, you can't stop ( ask Clete!).

Thanks Doug! :)
Doesn´t your expert eye find nothing strange?

DougD · 03-25-2008, 07:35 PM

They look good to me! Not the junk on E!

Cheers for that! :glug

BTW any ideas for the year of the VVS visor cap?

Great looking visor Estaban; they just look fantastic! Nice additions to your collection I would bet (nice additions to anyone collection I think!). I really really like the air force one; nice bullion work on that one. Thanks for posting them. Clete

Thanks Clete, but yours are nicer :D

Due to the crown size, I think the VVS cap is an M55. Am I correct?

you're right. About this point,did you manage to read a date behind the buttons chinstrap (I know they're hard to reverse because they're generally straightly stiched on the cap)?

I've got 1962 brand ;)

Nope, there is no date on the buttons, they´re the black-backed ones.
But today I took a closer look, and the button´s CoA hold 11 ribbons.
What period would it be then?
