Well I said I would get pics up and here they are! :D
My Russian Federation officers visor hat.
Although I wonder if it is genuine.
SO.
It is up to you experts in your amazing knowledges to tell me!
I question the embroidery on it...is it supposed to be like that?
Anywho.
This is my hat.(even though it really should be a militia hat, and it would be if only a certain Ukrainian store wouldnt have jacked around with me for weeks on end leaving me with two hats I wouldnt otherwise have purchased and still leaving me without a bloody militia hat! *rage* )
Anywho.
I do not like the cap cord. It´s the first sign of fakes.
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight The Who, Won't get fooled again
Now, I am NO expert in Russian Federation caps, I think they look too "Yeltsin", but the cap cord does not really worry me in this case, I have seen the same type of deep yellow thread cord on several Russian caps.
mainly every thing we would accept as a fake in soviet caps is a sign of a good Russian federation cap.
the embroidering is of goldish treat and is the same as on all soviet fakes (most of them now on the big E).
inside is same as very late soviet (transition period).
Very steep crown (flying sorcer).
Color combinations and materials of lesser quality than soviet.
this is what i always use as to determine it is a Russian federation cap.
