Miner's Visor Cap
Would this be a cap for a officer of the naval aviation, given that the cap lacks wings in the crown?

A naval aviation cap would have a VMF cockade...

Also, Im pretty sure all officers of the navy (aviation and infantry and line) wore the same cap. Sorry to disappoint you.

Hat
I believe this hat was issued to coal mining service personnel. The badge for this branch is completely different than the parade example on this hat. If you provided a pic of the inside, that would help. The officers hats have a black velvet band.

Tretov,
Isn't this cap a Russian issue rather than a Soviet one? Marc |

I am not sure, I just associated the colours to the naval aviation. If it is coal mining, I was in the completely wrong direction :D The diamond shaped shield inside says 1986.

Label
:thumbsup Yes, the label coincides with the hat I have handled. It seems to be a visor worn by personnel of the coal mining industry. If my word does not suffice, you might want to check out Under the Red Star, which is a website by Randy Stewart to educate collectors concerning 1945-1991 Soviet visors.

But if not, wouldn´t a NAO cap have even a slight detail that could make it different from regular navy and naval infantry? piping, perhaps?
