hi folks,
i have just found a new kgb general for offer.
on the Big E "NEUF et RARE CASQUETTE SOVIETIQUE pour GENERAL KGB".

My guess is a honer guard one, with an general cocard.
it does not look well constructed on the insite.
there is a gap in the lether sweat band.
and the orange cord looks wierd to me ?

the cap goes for 90,-

hi folks ,,

again i found a not so good looking general cap of kgb on Ebay.
"Soviet Russian KGB officer vizor hat 7-1/2 to 7-5/8 XL"
THIS IS AN KGB OFFICER'S VISOR HAT. LATE TRIM (MUST HAVE BEEN ISSUED BEFORE THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET EMPIRE). IT IS THE SOVIET OD GREEN WITH DARK BLUE KGB PIPING AND KID LEATHER SWEAT BAND. MUCH HIGHER QUALITY THAN THE SIMILAR VIZOR HATS FROM OTHER BRANCHES OF SERVICE. SOVIET OFFICER NATIONAL CREST IS ATTACHED . SIZE 60 or 61 (7-1/2 to 7-5/8 OR XL), IN GREAT CONDITION.

it goes for 90,- usd

it just looks weird to me ,, the diamond is off and the buttons look like officer's one's.

It is yellow thread, not more fancy than thick shoelaces.
