Suvorov military school students would have that combo, but the crown looks huge like a generals cap... :confused:
I thought those caps were more modest.

Perhaps it is a mis-made cap?
A suvorov school mishap? Possibly?
Not a bad thing though, I love it.

Re: What is this for kinda cap ?

my first thought was suvorov too, but i dropped it because this one does not have white piping.

i guess it is from the earlier 90ties because of the crown size ya.

any other ideas

Ah yes, white piping - I got to go and get glasses...

How about militia, where cocarde and chinstrap has been changed?

Hey, what if its prison guards?
The GDR had similar patterns for their prison hats, so maybe?

And I thought the Militia had grey smoke caps with red piping/band not black?

Perhaps it is transitional militia/suvorov?
That would explain the high crown and the colours.

Re: What is this for kinda cap ?

my first thoth was suvorov transitional too, but it hap pends to be that i have a suvorov form Russian make (199x) witch has the red band black top and white piping.

i had some other pictures made of the cap.
it looks to me as a late soviet cap , maybe indeed transitional.
