I recently read a reference in Red Army Uniforms 1918-1945 by Shalito, Savchendov, Roginsky and Tsyplenkov that the 1943 visor or peaked hats had a brick red band for officers (at least senior officers above leutenant) suggesting that lesser ranks had a red band. This makes sense to me since I see many NKVD visor hats with red bands and many officer NKVD visor hats with brick red bands. Can anyone give any further insight into this matter?
