help needed to identify strange tasseled cap

[helldunkle]

This cap is a recent purchase but I'm not sure of anything about it. Not sure if its Russian although it seems communist going by the red star on the top. I thought at first it may be Turkish or Greek army but I cant find any thing similar anywhere. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It's Yugoslavian.

From Wikipedia: "On 29 November 1943 (the date on your cap) the Anti-Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia established the foundations of post-war Yugoslavia as a socialist republic, which was officially proclaimed on the same date in 1945. Republic Day (local name: Dan Republike or Дан Републике) marked the occasion two consecutive days, November 29 and 30, and was likely the most important holiday (the other two-day holidays were New Year and May Day)."

Thats great info! thanks very much for that pjm. So do you think the cap is modern or period to 1943-45?
