Miner's Visor Cap
Would this be a cap for a officer of the naval aviation, given that the cap lacks wings in the crown?

A naval aviation cap would have a VMF cockade...

Also, Im pretty sure all officers of the navy (aviation and infantry and line) wore the same cap. Sorry to disappoint you.

Hat
I believe this hat was issued to coal mining service personnel. The badge for this branch is completely different than the parade example on this hat. If you provided a pic of the inside, that would help. The officers hats have a black velvet band.

Tretov,
Isn't this cap a Russian issue rather than a Soviet one? Marc |

But if not, wouldn´t a NAO cap have even a slight detail that could make it different from regular navy and naval infantry? piping, perhaps?

Without mentioning names, many years ago, I was the victim of a notable authority concerning this type of hat. The officer hat for this has a black velvet band and the same blue piping. The cap badge that belongs to this is not common, so it is difficult to locate a complete hat. In my situation, someone simply pinned a embroidered navy badge on the hat and sold it to me as KGB navy. Once I learned this was bogus, I eventually began researching it further and determined the error. Hense, it is evident to me that someone placed a common parade badge on this hat to simply unload it. Am I correct? Maybe someone should contact Randy Stewart and ask him? He is the author of the Under the Red Star webpage and a real authority on Gorbachev era Soviet visors. Thank you for your time.
