    Seems like normal salty WW2 type visor hat. It's a very difficult to say the years of production but material and construction looks to me ww2 period. Same caps were made after the war as the "front" fashion, but noone will tell you that this one is 100% POSTWAR PRODUCTION. Shown cap can be recognized by the buttons, sometime the buttons inside has a coins covered with material, if you touch and feel something like coin inside, you can carefully check for the date in the coin

    Dimas, thanks for the Infos.
    The buttons have inside coins. But it is impossible to check the date without tearing off and destroying the buttons.

    Dimas,

    It is very interesting, and especially intriguing what you have written about the chinstrap buttons being fashioned from coins. I assume that they would be 1 Kopek Russian?

    If ever you have an opportunity to show an example of such construction, I would be very pleased to see it very much...

    Pawlito, star cockarde seems to be of wartime or immediate postwar (before 1947r) production, (in my opinion from looking at the image you have provided that is).

    I congratulate you for ownership of this specimen.
    Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam!

    Here I show an example of what I believe Dimas refers to in his above (truncated) post:
