What's this badge?
I was told it's a Yugoslavian army cap badge, but:
1.It attached by the screw
2.Only Yugoslavian caps I have are side caps (from 1974 to 1991) and they all have embrioded stars

thanks,
But I have found somewhere, that this badges were for all caps except visor caps. So when were this replaced by cloth stars on side caps?
And another question: How common are "guards" badges (same as above but with hammer and sickle)?

There were winter caps whit stiched stars and summer caps whit metal stars.But here and ther soldiers put metal stars on winter caps.Not regulations but happened.
Stars whit hamer and sickle were for proleterian brigades and guards units,but they are not so rare.
As I said these stars are not uncommon and you can find them in a price range 2,50-5,00 Euros.

OK,
I have as many as five side caps. One of them is definately a winter variation (heavy material, same as winter uniforms, but others are made of lighter material and seem to be summer caps. And all of those have stitched stars (theres only difference in quality and the way stars are made)...

I don't have that winter one here, so I will post the pic later this week.
Here are those lighter material (but maybe I am wrong and the difference in material comes from the fact that the heavier one is from 70's and those on pics below are later?):
1st: 1980 with a bit unusual star

Al-muell · 11-07-2005, 01:52 PM

2nd:
worn off label, so date is unknown. the star is either moth-eaten or someone wanted to remove it.

Al-muell · 11-07-2005, 01:54 PM

3rd:
label removed - date unknown.
I can't find the 4th right now...

I have an o/s cap very similar to those--greenish/khaki material, and the label (I think) says that it was "made in Slovenia." It also has an embroidered red star.
