GPW era cap stars?
I think I need a couple to complete a display I have in mind. What are the distinguishing characteristics of WW2 era cap stars? How are they affixed to the cap? There's just two types; larger for officers and smaller for EM, correct? How difficult are these to find? Is it safe to assume there are fakes?
TIA.

Duh.....
Golly, I'm not sure Marc. :(
The star itself, not the star with the wreath I guess. :confused: Is there anyplace where I can see the cap stars so I can get an idea of what I want?

Let's try and focus on the service/parade stars for the moment please. What are the basics of those?

Eric,
From memory (sorry :) ) for the war years: . with separate H&S: 4 different sizes (Budenevka, Cap, pilotka and bezkozerka) . H&S struck with the star: made of different metals (brass, copper/brass-clad iron), enameled or painted, each in 3 different sizes Marc |

What type of display or what type of caps do you require the stars for? These are not for sale, but I am able to provide basic information about almost any one you wish to know about.

Waooo Richie, that's a nice set you got there.
Could you please post an individual scan of the third star in the top row on the first picture you posted) and a description of what it is. Thank you, Marc |
