Kutsenko's small book (Kokardi) on cap devices dates this cap badge as being introduced in 1932. It seems to go until about 1940 when there was a change in construction, though the end use date is just a guess. My guess is it was probably used from 1932 through the early 1940's.
Can you post the photo of the cap badge in wear? It would be odd for such a cap still to be used in the 1950's, but it is possible that the pilot using it in the 1950's wanted to show he was an early Aeroflot vet and still used this older cap as he liked it better. The cap itself, as i stated above, is clearly 1930's so either the photo was mis-captioned or the pilot was using on old vet cap. dd |
