Militaria Russian Gifts & Collectibles - Soviet Navy Admiral (winter)

Soviet Navy Admiral (winter) Soviet Navy Admiral Winter Visor Hat 1973-1991+ Probably the most luxurious hat worn in the Soviet military! Introduced in 1973, this hat design was unique to the Soviet Navy. The hat resembles many other winter Russian fur/wool hats, but with a visor attached. The body of the insulated hat is covered in black lambs-wool, while the visor is made of patent leather embroidered with gold bullion. The black chinstrap is also made of patent leather. An admiral's parade cockade is worn on the front flap. Although a variant of this hat exists for Captains First Rank (O-6), this particular hat is an admiral's (or naval general's) model, as evidenced by its admiral-grade buttons and cockade and its full lambs-wool top. This cap could be worn with either the winter service or parade uniform. It has remained in service with the Russian Navy with minor modifications to this day.
