re: Mining Service Headgear
Ser-g,
You post the most unusual caps! Can't help much on this, postwar unusual branch stuff like this is in the arena of guys like Tretov, but its a great looking cap. Has a similar look to the DDR Miners cap. Thanks for posting your caps here! DougD |

re: Mining Service Headgear
I wish I could jump in with a bright answer, but the only thing I have related to mine-rescue is a patch that is somewhat roughly attached to a MVD service uniform.
Having looked at undertheredstar.com , one of the differences seem to be the badge itself where miners had only the crossed tools and militarized rescue units has a wreath around. My personal opinion would be that the cap is for a "ordinary" miner - unless the upper star distinguish it in any way. Great collection btw! :thumbsup:thumbsup Last edited by Tretov; 11-25-2008 at 11:14 AM. |

re: Mining Service Headgear
what do you mean by fine cap ?
------------- i have found some thing revering to the round badge (Rosette) it was reportedly used in the 40's and 50's on higher (highest) official of different civil ministries. i can still find nothing about the use of that Rosette in the time frame of this cap (1970-1991). maybe anyone ? |
