MVD 55-69 cap

[RichieC]

This particular cap could very well indeed date from the late 60s, but for soldiers and sergeants, I would think that it still would have the star cockarde - the M64 type. Of course officers would use the oval cockarde.

Or am I to understand that all MVD troops were officers?

Here are a few images pertaining to the 50s - for the sake of interest:

I expected this to be an early cap because the wool material is still used.

But i have caps m69 that have the wool material on the crown either so maybe this doesn't really Mather.

Yes, in any case, it is your cap. You can do with it what you please...

Ofcourse i understand.
Normally i wouldn't temper with a cap unless it is for sure wrong.

In this case, the cap and all badges look like they have been there longer than im old. But i so love the first 2 piece officers badges.

I think he means one of, or a variation of one these Marc - which IMO, were intended for use by Generals:
