Original Soviet Russian WWII Cavalry Officer Model 1935 M35 Hat by Moscow Tailor with Great Markings - Size 7
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Russian M35 caps began the practice of identifying the wearer's arm or service (or branch) by differing band and piping colors. These caps were also characterized by spade-shaped (or square edged) visors, although rounded (semi-circular) visors were also worn infrequently, especially by those who could afford to have custom-made caps, such as generals. The crowns of these caps were relatively small and round, with a low rise in the front.
This cap with black piping and a dark blue hat band would have been worn by a Cavalry officer for service duty and for dress. The crown is green wool and there is a black oilcloth chinstrap which is held in place by two likely bakelite buttons. The visor is made of spade-shaped fiberboard. A brass and enamel M39 star is pinned through the band.
The interior crown bears a plethora of period stamps and markings including a large maker’s stamp for a maker in Moscow over the size, 7. There are two other boxed stamps and the numbers:
17580
49
There is some tearing in the sweatband but this is rather minor. There is additional stamping under the sweatband including numbers and a partial date stamp with only 19 still visible. The stitching looks to be original and is well-retained.
A great Soviet officer’s visor cap for Cavalry, ready for further research and display!
