I believe this is a rare 8-Star General variation!

I heard it's worth big buck on the open market (eBay)

Answering to your question, vikingraider, it´s not a fake, but it is modified to look as a more "high rank" cap. You know, sellers that think that can fool us say:"More briliant things on it, more bucks for me" What I´m tryin´ to say is...That.

That may be true, but how easy would that be to fake?

The seller's description is even more funny...

"Out of an estate and before the breakup of Soviet Russia comes this new Russian Hat. Inside has the leather sweat band with the Soviet label. I do not read Russian. Also what looks to be the size of the hat is stamped 57 inside of hat. Hat is heavy and well put together. Many gold stars and has the original label attached to hat which says Mfg. 1990. This is before the breakup of Soviet Russia. I was told at the estate that the light green pipping or braid is the Border Patrol. The Winged Wheels could be from the Railroad Patrol. Most definately a very nice collectors item."
