Motorized Rifle General Service Visor Cap

Hello!
Judging by the cockade (white background for the star), plastic rimmed visor and standard grey sweatband, I would say it is an officer service cap, not a generals one. Other than that, it really looks nice.
Best regards

I apologize for my wording, i actually meant "General Service" and not the rank but i put it out of context. Heres an interesting entry from "Under the Red Star" about the cap.by Lancier

Hi!
That hat is for an Officer, not for General.
In particular this is a soviet Motorized Rifle Officer Service Visor Hat mod. 1975-1991
This is an Officer's cockade
This is a Generals' cockade
Quick comparison!
Also you can see the lateral buttoms to verify that is for an Officer!
Officer's buttoms
General's buttoms
However it's a very beautiful officer hat, from late 1980s, in nice condition!
Regards
