This Soviet visor cap is a peaked military hat in the dark olive-grey and cornflower blue (vasilyok) colors historically used by the KGB and the MVD (Internal Affairs / Militia) during the Cold War. It is marked size 57, roughly a medium, and dates to the 1970s-1980s. The Red Star cockade with hammer and sickle sits at the front above a black plastic visor.

About This Piece

Cornflower blue was the distinctive color that set the KGB and MVD headwear apart from the plainer olive caps of the regular army, so this combination is instantly recognizable to collectors of Soviet uniforms. A complete cap with its cockade, chin strap buttons and intact lining suits militaria collections, historical reenactment and display.
