Repro Postwar Generals Caps

Here is an entire collection of fake caps on E ; the seller is in Ukraine. :hurl

Only for information...

Just another one to have the entire collection of these "genuine caps", which are available in M/L/XL of course... "Brand new, but original..." ;)

As these caps are more and more showing up on E, lets nail this thread down (i cleaned it up and renamed it). Add any other variations of postwar generals/admirals/ and marshals caps you see for sale on E to this thread. This should help some of the newer collectors.

More info on these new copies would be great. I would just ask that what makes them copies is listed as well. I am not a big collector of late Soviet/Russian visors so I am not sure of the particulars to check for authenticity. Thanks clete

The embroidery style is a giveaway.

You are right, nevertheless this same seller offers a general´s cap with the correct embroidery material, cockade and cord. I admit it fooled me when I saw the thumbnail depicting the cap(:o). It was a marshal´s service pattern sewn in general´s bullion.

Esteban, if you can, post pics. We need to have as many examples on this thread of repro postwar soviet high ranking caps.

here it is.

Thanks esteban. This cap has the wrong cap badge (officers, not generals) and incorrect cap buttons. But, its a better fake than the others as at least the embroidery looks to be a bit better quality.

Same bad quality as the Soviet ones...
