We know that Army had raspbery bands, yet 1945 parade visor bands were red. I think the same was true in 1943 for NKVD senior officers which had brick red bands on their visor hats. So if I were advising a young collector I would tell him or her to look for NKVD visor hats with brick red bands and not red bands. This is my opinion only.
