Repro Postwar Generals Caps

[Laurent]

Here is an entire collection of fake caps on E ; the seller is in Ukraine. :hurl

Only for information...

[Laurent]

Just another one to have the entire collection of these "genuine caps", which are available in M/L/XL of course... "Brand new, but original..." ;)

As these caps are more and more showing up on E, lets nail this thread down (i cleaned it up and renamed it). Add any other variations of postwar generals/admirals/ and marshals caps you see for sale on E to this thread. This should help some of the newer collectors.

More info on these new copies would be great. I would just ask that what makes them copies is listed as well. I am not a big collector of late Soviet/Russian visors so I am not sure of the particulars to check for authenticity. Thanks clete

The embroidery style is a giveaway.

The embroidery style is a giveaway.

You are right, nevertheless this same seller offers a general´s cap with the correct embroidery material, cockade and cord. I admit it fooled me when I saw the thumbnail depicting the cap(:o). It was a marshal´s service pattern sewn in general´s bullion.

Esteban, if you can, post pics. We need to have as many examples on this thread of repro postwar soviet high ranking caps.

here it is.

[DougD]

Thanks esteban. This cap has the wrong cap badge (officers, not generals) and incorrect cap buttons. But, its a better fake than the others as at least the embroidery looks to be a bit better quality.

They also made fakes of RF caps!

Same bad quality as the Soviet ones...
