Hi, Beautiful cap collection. I have a collection of Russian caps but they are mostly relatively modern where as you have an in depth more historical collection. I particularly like your Air Force and Medical general's caps!!! Excellent!!!
Happy hunting and best wishes Michael R
Thanks! I have only seen one other Medical General hat like that on the collectrussia website.
You should start a thread showing off your caps Michael, I'd happily look at them!

Yes Phil, I may just do that and if so I will let you know in advance!!
Cheers Michael
PS, Where are you located?????
Great.
I just got a new admiral hat today I'll post it soon.
And I'm in Pennsylvania.
I am searching for such a black tank general cap (like you have). Early 70s or 60s. But they are also rare.
Your admiral cap looks very good. I had the chance to buy a hat of a fleet-admiral, but it was a too dirty and "yellow" (the white part) and I like definitely more the general parade hats. But the embroidery was nice - like the marshal embroidery
