Worst Marshals Cap fake

This one is just the worst....looks like its from a soviet clown. I e-mailed the guy to ask if he knew it was fake and he was really snotty; glad he is stuck with it.

Must be worth something for the comedy value alone ;)

When I saw the pic I ROTFLMAOed a bit, then I remembered what my father told me when he went to St Petersburg last month. He said that the first time he went(during 2000) caps, uniforms, WW2 badges, awards, etc, were everywhere he went, everyhting original, in large supplies and so... In just five years the panorama changed radically. He did not see a single original cap in his quick visit. Just crude fakes, very ugly, but at the same price as the former ones.

The fakes` pest is extending to caps too...:thumbsdown
