i too would be very interested in an guide to cap labels.
i think this could be a very use full and nice detail to a cap.
witch is normaly forgotton about or just looked at if "it looks right".
i would be happy to supply pictures of cap labels for such a guide.
since i dont have any good knowlege of this parts and do not know any good info to learn from.
it would make it nice to know what factories are known to use what ever was on hands.
for exampel
kind regards serge
This is a "modest" cap army officer field, manufactured in 1968, unused, due to a small deformity (a sinking almost imperceptible) in the frame of cardboard in its union with the visor.
Despite their "modesty" is one of my most prized caps.
Today there are very good lighting will make a new picture on the label.

I think this is a hat Service / Parade Officer Engineering Design WWII-1954 lacking on the front of the crown of the wings and golden star, tells us that this is an Officer of the Technical Services and not a pilot. The striking aspect of this cap is the presence of cockarde introduced in 1955 and not the red star. Given its production in 1954, it is likely that the owner replace anything else bought, as it is appreciated that this has always led cockarde.
The hat has been cleaned.
You have another view of this hat?
The factory's name is Komintern, but I don't know where it was. There's the city name written below, but I cannot read it. If I were to guess, I would say it's Omsk, but it can as well be anything else.
I am sure I had something (not cap, probably jacket) made by Komintern factory. I'll look for it and see what the label says about the city if I can find it. But in fact it can be a different factory.
Hello Gentlemen:
Once again I require your knowledge to be able to identify the factory in which it was made this hat. I thought that was quite a factory known as the label that I have seen in many hats.
(the picture is a little clearer, I hope that is sufficient to identify it)
Thankful,
