Hello,

Could someone tell me what was the model of the visor cap worn by the officers of the Soviet cavalry during the years 1943-45? Is it the Model (pattern) 1936?
Photos and description are welcome.

Thanks!

Hello,
During the ww2, soviets used two types of visor caps: M35 and combat cap (Fully kaki).
The model for cavalry troop is kaki with dark blue band and black piping. First models had black buttons.
Two examples :

Hello Guy,

Thank you very much for your answer!

So, your photos represent the two variants of the M35 cavalry visor cap?

Along with the button colour, I would add that the material that the crown is made from can vary a lot (including wool).

You can also encounter round visors (vs square).

Strictly speaking there was probably one authorised pattern (M35) and tens of different interpretations.
