Admirals cap?

Ser-g · 01-25-2009, 08:04 AM

hi folks,

the next cap ain't mine, and i double if i would like to have it.

it is listed at the big E as ,Soviet Russia Admirals Uniform, Cold War CCCP.
so fare so good.

but than the pictures that go with it.
there seems to be a check board ribbon.
and at first i couldn't make out what i was missing, but the border line on the visor ain't there ?

how about it ?

I forgot all about the included tunic.
this at least seems okay to me (and used)

the hole set it a buy it now at 190 euro

I say bad - the cap (which is service type with small front wreath) embroidery looks wrong (lacks the embroidery that should go along the edge of the visor) and the tunic collar embroidery seems off.

I would not spend any money on the set.

thats precise the feeling i got from it ,,

i was just wondering ,, did they just forget to put the border embroidering on the visor?
or was there ever such regulation?

The producers of this replica probably forgot to buy a regulations book or just oversaw this detail for higher cost efficiency.

Is it from Ukraine I wonder?

the big E action states it is located in the US now at the moment.

The set is most likely manufactured in Ukraine, which I guess was what commissar meant as well :)

Guys,

Don't forget that the newest trend is to register yourself in a "civilized" place, even if you live 1000s of miles away (in the Ukraine, for instance :D).
