In addition, modern ukrainian navy caps (and probably russian as well) have the crown front higher and somewhat more flat...
Morfłot and similar didn't always follow the same rules as the navy - I have seen a Morflot cap with smaller (like pre 69) crown which was dated 1974.
I´m sure you are right, but those cords must always be a sign of suspect.
Maybe Tretov would like to ask the seller for inside pictures to see if the cords are just a replacement.
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
