Admirals cap on e! Authentic? It is hard to tell if the embroidery on the cap is the fake style shiny.

That visor embroidery looks a but suspicious to me.

The cap is not "fake" in that its not one of the ones we see on E that is an outright copy for tourists. Rather its a very late unissued cap circa 1990 ( note the huge peak)....not really "real" in that it was not used by a Soviet Admiral, but ok for display.

Tretov,

For your information, there is another one on the French e...

I think this cap is good too, but with a little wear... so it can be more interesting...
