Now, on to this generic cap star, 30mm. What era, 1950s? Did I overpay at $10 (including postage)?
TIA

Hello Eric!

Are you certain it measures 30MM?

I guess it's closer to 31mm?

I would say 32MM Eric... :p

These were intended for use on Naval sailor's Бескозырка - Beskozerka - "Bezka" from 1943 onwards. I have come across a few different variations.

IMO, yours is a 1940s/early 50s example and in a condition that is superb.

I'll gladly take an example of one is you have another... Ten bucks was a fine deal. :wink

I have to say that the one on the right is more...normal looking.
For some reason the left star looks like the crest was really squeezed into the center of the star. :o

This is prosecutor's hat cocard

As far as I am concerned, it is for use by personnel of the Ministry of Communications - pattern of 1948.

Well...That's a bummer because if it is for the prosecutor's office, I would pursue it. If it is communications, probably not.

Either way, I think it's a good-looking piece.:thumbsup
