In very good to excellent condition. The hat is completely free of moth bites or tracks. The crown has a couple of tiny snags to the brim on the back, nearly unnoticeable. Both the exterior and interior of the hat are very clean. The visor is firmly attached, and the hat has kept its overall shape perfectly. There are a few scuffs to the visor, not too detractive.

Overall, a nice example of the classic piece of Soviet general officer's headgear from the time of the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
