As a militaria collector, seeing the way he was holding the caps by the visor almost gave me a heart attack, but then i remembered that these are new hats and that i should chill out about this stuff lmao Great stuff bro
I only have a 1960's-1970's finnish border guard's peaked cap. It is very high quality and nice feeling. However unlike these Russian models, its "peak" is much more floppy and not fixed to be in shape... Still it is very cool, and so are these Russian hats shown in the video.
@@DevinK if you want a good lead on the more iconic ww2 style and not the super common M1969 style on Ebay a guy has one from torpedo school dated 1954 for $30 which is a good deal the pre-1969 style usually sell for $60 plus due to the fact they are just scarce because alot of them we taken apart to he used for some of the first m1969 style hats
How do I tell the year of my hat? I got what looks to be a legitimate army parade hat (my father got it from a Ukrainian friend in college or university in the early 90s), but on the inside the diamond patch is just the blank artificial leather. There is a tag in the front with “г МОСКВА” and “ПТ(insert character that looks like either D or [])”. On the other side is “« ЗАРНИЦА »”. There is also “57” marked on the inside, but I suspect it was put there for logging purposes wherever they stored the uniforms. Also the chin strap and the points to which it is supposed to be attached is missing, but there’s holes where it was.
The "57" is the European size of the cap. More than likely you may have a early 1970s - 1991 issued visor, since the M69 uniforms are the most mass produced hats that you can find from post Soviet countries. Many of the hats you'll find with be from the 1980s. What color is it?
@@The.Rooster a red on the area just above the visor and and a dark green-ish grey for the weird angled part. Online it says this corresponds to a late red army parade hat.
@@spingebill8551 I assume the Badge is a Red star with a Reef? If so, then it is a USSR enlisted visor cap. Not necessarily a parade hat, though they were worn by enlisted troops for parades, the hats were a dress uniform for Red Army troops. The Red band above the visor means it's infantry. The hat itself is the same as an officer cap and vice versa, though the only changes are badges. You could easily convert it to an officer cap if you get the Oval Badge hammer and sickle red star, and gold chinstrap cords are easy to come by. The buttons for the chinstrap are also easy to get, they feature a Star with the hammer and sickle, used by both Enlisted and officers
Hey, just bought a officer's hat from 1991, its very tight, i don't know how to loosen it, as even a 15 year old it's small on me. It's not a toy hat. It's a 54 size.
@@DevinK Me neither, more of a jokey comment about how the Russians have a way of combining old and new gear and styles that might seem strange to some westerners
I'm sorry to say this, but the hat on the right is fake (You said it was a "Kremlin Guard hat") but it is unfortunately just a standard army officer peaked hat (The MVD hat's in the 60's also used those colors from the army) On the crown of the hat it has an MVD-Russian Police Cockade, while the cockade on the band is a standard Russian military cockade with a star on it. The Presidential/Kremlin Regiment hats have cornflower blue bands and piping on their hats (It's a left over color from the KGB) The presidential regiment is now part of the FSO, which continues to use cornflower blue as a traditional color of state security.
Rustycaddy strange because when you google the Russian honor guards photos come up from 2019 with dignitaries and other stuff walking in front of people with the same color uniform and this exact hat in front of the kremlin and lots of other places
@@DevinK You might be confusing the honor guard of the Russian Armed Forces with the Kremlin Honor Guard. If you type in Russian Honor Guard, you will see pictures of the 154th Preobrazhensky Independent Commandant's Regiment.
@@DevinK The Preobrazhensky Independent Commandant's Regiment (Honor Guard of Russian military) makes an appearance practically everywhere, even outside of the Kremlin. The Kremlin Regiment/Honor Guard however is permanently stationed inside the Kremlin and wear 19th/early 20th century Imperial Russian Army uniforms, while officers wear Soviet styled uniforms. All of the uniforms of the Kremlin Regiment are cornflower blue. The Honor Guard of the Russian military represent three branches, red for the Ground Forces, light blue for the aerospace/air force and black for the Russian Navy. However, most of the pictures on the internet show exclusively the honor guards representing the ground forces, and not the Aerospace Forces and Navy.
there is an eagle of the Ministry of Defense on the top of the hat, at the eagle of the Ministry of Internal Affairs George the Victorious is in a round red shield

North Koreans made it even bigger.
South Amerika: "Our crown is biggest!"

How much would the blue cap usually cost on ebay?
Depends they are pretty rare since this isn’t a soviet model it’s an honor guard model
where you found your cap ?
Russia
@@DevinK where in russia ?
@@dekhilandreas4157 I picked it up on vacation, I don’t know of an exact location where you can get one.
I always prefer grander, fancier uniforms. It's more impressive looking, esspecially when some serious craftsmanship has gone into the articles.
Kuddlesworth NA i agree
I need one
That looks like the Russian Ministry of Defense emblem on the cap

They aren’t really adjustable so you will have to find a larger size
@@DevinK damn. I mean considering how starved people in the USSR I'm not surprised why it's so small lol
It fits, just very tight
@@GabrielPuent could have been a hat used by a woman as Russia has had an integrated military for almost 100 years
@@DevinK true. Thanks for the info!
How much are they worth?
Nick Harding I’m not sure I haven’t seen any examples for sale
Actually, these are doormen's hats for expensive Russian hotels.
Can you show your Russian uniform?
The blacksmith I hopefully will get the time to do so soon
Okay
:O I WANT ITTTTTTT
У меня уже есть по 25 штук каждой из этих кепок / шапок.
I have the defense ministry cap
Seriously ??
Only the Russians would make a peaked cap out of rip-stop. Wouldn't surprise med if they made some in digiflora too lol
