Ser-g,

It is a railroad cap. I can't tell for sure, but the badges look like they might be of (very!) recent vintage.

Lapa is right. cap insignia was not manufactured using that kind of thread; the ones you show in the picture is often used on ukrainian copies. I´d stay away.

too bad ,, i would have loved to have owned this red topped cap.

i find the color combination very apealing ,, butifull.

but in my opinion fakes are not worth a penny left alone 150 usd.

thanks again folks

The hat and insignia is good and not fakes... separately from each other :)

Hat is for military commandants of railroad stations and their assistants 1970-80.

Insignia is for sleeve of Honor Miner's uniform.
