Nice bullion embroidery. All the ones I've seen have cheaper stamped metal wreaths. Suggests either a higher ranked officer or someone who wishes they were.

Under the Red Star - Railways

I think it is from in between 1970 till 1985.

i base this on the knowledge that the badge would be rather big to be pre 1970 (bigger than a general of army badge). and the backing color is the color in use during that period.
in 1985 there was a very similar cap badge introduced made out of metal.
This could very well be the badge in use during that period.

On the under the red star web page , exactly this time frame misses.
because i already checked this web page ,, but the cap i looked for wasn't on it.

Can any one confirm my toughts about this badge ?

Ser-g,

I was going through my archives again today and found this photo of a Railroad Director (General)...don't remember much more about it ( I had it back in 1995 or so) but I am sure the cockade is the same.

Indeed it is exactly the same cockade.
weird it has no wing on the crown, but my cap didn't have that either (altough there is a big mark that there must have been a railway wing of normal type).

do you remember the inside of the cap ? was is a generals equivalent?
My cap has normal officers inside.

Hi Ser-g,

Sorry, it went through my hands more than a decade ago. I know where it is, but the owner passed away and his huge postwar collection is locked in his basement. Not sure what will ever happen to it all.
