Thanks to you all guys!!! I appreciare your help!!! :thumbsup
My suspect was also about the inner fabric of these caps. It seems not the silk like fabric I often see inside general’s hat, it’s not shiny but flat and seems cotton made (to me). The tag’s edges are not straight, are imperfectly cutted and not well sewn (3rd pict. ). Plus the mark itself (to me) seems not worn by usage.
LAPA/Mark and DOUGD You told the inside tags are original and Doug added they’re common types for hats of that period (70’s). I’m sorry but now I’ve some doubt more:
1- I have what I think to be an original general parade hat for airforce, made by "Kombinat" – Moscow- it’s a never worn one from 1970. Its inside tag is quite different from those above pictured. Tag has smooth and well cut and sewn edges and a different shape even if it’s from the same factory of the hats I posted. So the pin point is: I’m doubting about genuinity of MY own.
2- If we can confirm that hats are genuine What ‘s, in your opinion, the value of those hats? Please note that the tank one has a seam made with brown wire, it’s only a stitch but visible as…it’s brown!
I apologize for the time I take You . THANKS! :)
