If you look at the last line of the proletarian text on the flag, you will see it is just a lot of nonsense... Crap..!

Guys,
I also think it's a theater prop, but not made in Russia - just look at that ribbon. Alexei

I'm confused--isn't it an early 80's armor general's hat? It has the gold on gold cocade, general's buttons for the cords, and the hig-quality lining. Plus wear. Is the problem is that the leaves shouldnt be there and that they ar not embroidered?

Laurent Wrote:no comment...Hmm... The leaves are metal, not embrioded - ok, it's an oddity. It has the standard visor from 70's - ok, this is unusual for general caps. But otherwise - it looks good. The wear to the inside looks authentic. Mayby some general had enough fantasy to make something like this? Or4 maybe it's 70's general's cap improved by the owner after caps w/embriodery were introduced? Without seeing the crown material it's hard to say anything.

Guys,
That's a standard officer's cap that has been upgraded with General buttons and cocarde, nothing else. Marc

Well, it has a sweatband and label typical for the generals' caps...
If it is a remake, someone has put much effort in it.

The seatband and label made me think that it was a general's, as opposed to a lesser officer's, cap. I'm no expert, but I do have about a dozen M69 visor caps, and none of the officer's ones have this kind of fancy sweatband/label combo. So I'm confused.
Marc--I take it that you have seen non-general officer's caps w/this higher-quality sweatband/label combo? |
