Visor and Field Cap to ID

**meyle77** · 03-30-2013, 02:28 PM

Hi,

Red Army is not my field, but came across those 2 caps as part of a possible trade. I intend to resale them so values would be appreciated.
I think I know the visor is infantry officer one possibly 1970s but the field cap looks like it is from 1980s.
Any feedback is appreciated - thanks !

Visor cap is Militia (Police) with an Army type cockarde.

Thanks - so cockarde is not correct for the visor then ? or is it military police ?

Civil Police (attached to MVD).

This should be the correct cockarde. They are readily available and inexpensive.

The second cap is a field cap the soviets used during the war in Afghanistan, they called it a Mobutu cap. Not too good on post war but that's my guess.
