Wierd Mvd service cap up for your opinion
Hi folk's
this is the second of the 2 i got in today. This cap is harder it apears to be a MVD VV Officer Service cap. but the wierd thing is that the button's say 69. I doubt between 2 options now. 1. it is a prived ordered one. 2. it is a down graded general cap (some seller put rongly buttons on it and cocarde) the thing with that is that the button's are stitched on. I would really like your educated opinion's (guesses) on these 2. Since i'm just a collector for 2 years and a bit of a novice it certainly find this mvd kinda hard. kind regards ser-g |

The year "69" states that the buttons were made that year, the cap may be produced in the years after. The inside shows wear, right?

Serg,
Are there any markings on it at all? From the look of it, it could be a M69 General's service cap, but we need to check a few more things to be sure. Marc |

there are no markings that are known to me.
there is some thing on the inside of the liner wat looks like a bleu circel with a mark inside (looks a bit like ballpen made). too fage for a picture, but i tried. the sweat diamond looks as if it ever had something pure white on it (maybe a lettering or so). the liner is greasy are if it was rubbed in with some kinda grease (posibly vasiline). kind regards ser-g Last edited by Ser-g; 04-22-2008 at 11:37 AM.

MVD cap
Serg,
I would not 'overthink' this cap; to me it's simply a nice quality MVD officers cap. The liner is a very nice quality for an officer, but I do not think unheard of. It's a good cold war era cap! DougD |

Mvd
Who knows where or why it was made the way it was...was the officer a full colonel who wanted the nicer quality cap than that for a captain or major? Never really know, but i think its fine.
Dating is tough...button dates only mean that the buttons were made that year...these buttons are 1969, so the hat could be anywhere past that really...1970's? I am not sure we can be more exact than that. DougD |
