A good size (58) cap made from heavily padded, black,

blended-wool fabric, the white-piped cap crown, 

(a larger and greater circumference than its war-time cousin),  

is shaped by an inner spring.

 The long cap tally band in gold Russian Cyrillics 

for the Pacific Fleet 

(Тихоокеанский флот) 

has a single gold anchor at the base of each swallow-tail at the back.

The front of the cap  bears carries the metallic & enamelled 

M.69 Soviet Red Star 

within a wreath cap badge 

whilst the inside crown has the manufacturer’s/tailor’s label 

within a sewn triangle.
