Lets look at some of the details of the caps:
Here is the "NKVD" officers cap:
Note the high peak, the very poor quality sweatliner with no wear, the brim with no wear, the buttons with heavy rust ( though no rust marks on cap), the very thin and incorrect cap badge pins.
Note the nice and bright "wartime" stamps.
As soon as I had the cap in my hands I knew it was bad; if you have handled real ones the feel of the repro is obvious.
