Original Soviet Russian WWII RKKA Artillery and Tank Officer Model 1935 M35 Hat

Item DescriptionOriginal Item: Only One Available. Russian M35 caps began the practice of identifying the wearer's arm or service (or branch) by differing band and piping colors. These caps were also characterized by spade-shaped (or square edged) visors, although rounded (semi-circular) visors were also worn infrequently, especially by those who could afford to have custom-made caps, such as generals. The crowns of these caps were relatively small and round, with a low rise in the front.This cap with red wool piping and black felt hat band would have been worn by a RKKA Artillery & Tank Officer for service duty and for dress. The crown is green wool and there is a black chinstrap which is held in place by two brass buttons. The visor is made of spade-shaped fiberboard. A brass and enamel M39 star is pinned through the band.The interior is void of markings but the rayon lining is still soft and in good shape. There is some tearing in the sweatband but this is rather minor. The stitching looks to be original and is well-retained.A great Soviet officer's visor cap for Artillery or Armor, ready for further research and display!Shipping RestrictionsThis product is available for international shipping.Payment OptionsEligible for all payments - Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX, Paypal & Sezzle
