Re: Cap Badges
Marco,
Great photos, thanks for posting. I agree, your photo #1 is idenitcal to the DDA one posted last year and I for one would not be comfortable dealing with it. The others I'd like to see in person, but as of now I would not have a major problem with #3 and #4 (others may disagree); I'm not a big fan of helmets, but this was a great looking design! Pick up 'Russian Helmets: From Kaska to Stalshlyem 1916-2001' by Robert Clawson (he also has a website where he does updates and corrections). Bender Publishing has it on sale right now for under $20 I think. DougD |

Naval Cap badge??
This was up for auction recently...offered as 1930's Red Navy cap badge, but I have to say I have never seen anything like it (not that that means much)...real? non-soviet? custom made?

Re: Cap Badges
Perhaps marines?
Come to think of it, did they have marines in the 30s?

Re: Cap Badges
It is a 1934 34MM pattern star with a mid-late 1930s anchor (less the wire chain) from a Naval officer's visor cap "crab".
Obviously not "regulation", but I would not be surprised if it were actually fashioned during the period by some creative Soviet seaman... |

Re: Cap Badges
Thanks for straightening that out Richie. I liked the look of that cap star.
Now, on to this generic cap star, 30mm. What era, 1950s? Did I overpay at $10 (including postage)? TIA
