The ceremonial cap of the general staff of the NKVD Armed Forces in 1943

It's the rarest cap we've ever seen on sale. It was found among old things in an abandoned house, cleaned and put in order by us. The cap is made of high-quality wool fabric. A metal enamel cockade is mounted on the band. The band is made of dark blue velvet and is embroidered with gold embroidery. The sewing pattern consists of two laurel branches radiating from the center. The large stems and leaves of the laurel branches are embroidered with gilded thread, and the small leaves are made of gilded sequins sewn with a thread with gilded thread. Along the upper edge, the band has a crimson cloth edging, similar to the edging on the crown of the cap. The visor is fiberboard, black, with double-sided varnishing. Above the visor there is a twisted gilded filigree cord in two rows, attached at the ends to two small metal buttons. Each button depicts the coat of arms of the USSR with eleven ribbons of the Soviet republics. The lining of the cap is silk, the shoulder strap is made of soft brown leather. The original gold embroidery and filigree cord are well preserved, there are only minor darkening, the cloth is fragmentary faded and has contamination. Cockade and buttons in original gilt. It was introduced by Order of the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs of the USSR No. 126 dated February 18, 1943. It was abolished by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated July 6, 1945. Guarantee of authenticity.
