In olive drab wool gabardine with red piping and subdued hat
badge; silk liner. Moscow "43 TsEPK" factory sweat shield. A
silk tape threads through the general's quality leather
sweatband to allow a customized fit. There is a maker's
quality control stamp to the underside of the sweat band.
Large size: 59 (US 7 3/8); please note that the hat shrank
about a size as is common for headgear of this vintage, but
will probably will assume its original size with some
stretching.
In outstanding, excellent condition; very clean and crisp. A
classic Soviet hat of the Afghan War era.
