Ceremonial cap of the general staff of the NKVD PV sample of 1945

The rarest cap, which we met on sale for the first time. It was found among old things in an abandoned house, cleaned and put in order by us. The cap is made of high-quality woolen fabric. A metal enamel cockade is mounted on the rim. The band is made of dark blue velvet and embroidered with gold embroidery. The sewing pattern consists of two laurel branches diverging from the center. The large stems and leaves of laurel branches are embroidered with gilded frills, and the small leaves are formed from gilded sequins sewn with a thread with gilded frills. Along the upper edge of the band has a crimson cloth edging, similar to the edging on the crown of the cap. The visor is fiber, black, with double-sided varnishing. Above the visor there is a twisted gilded filigree cord in two rows, attached at the ends to two small metal buttons. Each button depicts the coat of arms of the USSR with eleven ribbons of the Soviet republics. The lining of the cap is silk, the band is made of soft brown leather. The original gold embroidery and filigree cord are well preserved, there are only minor darkening, the cloth is fragmentary faded and has dirt. Cockade and buttons in original gilding. It was introduced by the decision of the Main Quartermaster Department of the Red Army No. 1412 in April 1945.
