MVD 55-69 cap

[Ser-g]

I have just bought and got in hands this cap.

It is my second ever cap of this type.
Before i had always kept my self to m69 caps.

I like this cap because of the 3 tone sceme on it.
It was sold softly to me as one did not identify it right, lets hope i did.

It is a teller shape for sure and has a dark red band, green top and dark blue piping.

The sweat diamond is what worries me a little bit, it i look really close it looks like It has a date on it like 75 .76 or maybe 70 but i rather think 75.

Who can help me ?

IMO, it is of late 50s/early 60s vintage - the diamond, sweatband, visor, and star are the attributes that make me draw this conclusion.

Thnx RichieC, did i identify it corect as MVD than?
And how common of a cap is it?

Still find the diamond a bit weird, but i could have mis read the very faded date.

MVD is spot on.

It is not a rare thing Serg, but they do not show up being offered for sale often - like most stuff in this genre nowadays.

Richie has given you all the details. It is a nice, original MVD cap.

Not sure it should be the star cocarde on.

An old style 2 piece officers cockade of the oval m55 type?

I think it's at list the end of 60-ies and should have oval cocarde.

Cool i've always loved the 2piece oval cockade.

What does on this cap does you think it's late 60's
