Gents, I would like your opinion on this hat. Is it a GPW political hat?

Re: Soviet political Officer's hat
It's NKVD/NKGB service hat. Not really a political officer. This one may be authentic, but better pictures would help, as those are commonly faked.

Re: Soviet political Officer's hat
Where do you need pictures of to get a better judgement?

USSR,
Inside of the sweatband, stitching details on the visor, stamp, and whatever else you feel like snapping. Marc |

Re: Soviet political Officer's hat
Thanks Philippe, I already own it. It came with a large collection I bought because of a couple of Soviet orders. I don't collect uniforms so I had no good idea what it was. :) what year would you say it is made in?

Re: Soviet political Officer's hat
There's a chance that a year would be stamped on the reverse of the buttons, but I doubt it in this case. I don't remember exactly right now, but the caps in this color scheme were used untill the time when the m1955-based uniform was adopted by the MVD - and that was either 1955 or 1956, but that reform was for sure introduced in the MVD a bit later than in the Army.
Anyway, if postwar indeed, this would be around 1945-1955 |

Re: Soviet political Officer's hat
Hi,
Al-Muell member has summed. The colors of the NKVD and MVD change from regulation in 1955. Indicates that the buffer is a Moscow factory (23e workshop). References found in 1945. It is therefore a manufacturing between 1945 and 1955. May be slightly wetting the pad, you can see the date. It's still a very nice cap, and has kept its colors. Regards. Philippe |
