This is an original Cold War era USSR Army General or Officer’s Visor Hat, representing Soviet ground forces uniform headgear from the mid-20th century. Visor hats of this type were standard issue for commissioned officers and higher ranks, worn for formal duty, parade occasions, and official service functions during the Cold War period.

The cap features a structured olive-green crown and cap body, with a crimson band that typically denotes Army branch service in Soviet military uniform color coding. The front is mounted with a prominent Soviet cockade and wreath device, consisting of a red star encircled by a wreath of oak leaves — the classic emblem worn by Soviet officers, symbolizing service to the Soviet Army and allegiance to the USSR. A gold chin cord (visor cord) is fitted above the visor, consistent with officer rank insignia and distinguishing this example from enlisted patterns.

The black lacquered visor remains intact and correctly shaped, complementing the overall formal appearance of the hat. Materials and stitching are consistent with period manufacture, reflecting quality construction typical of Cold War Soviet officer headgear. Condition is consistent with age and period use, showing honest surface wear, gentle fabric softening, and a natural patina on metal fittings without distortion or significant damage. The insignia remains clear and well-defined, and the cap retains its overall shape and presentation. This visor hat represents an authentic and collectible example of Soviet Cold War military dress uniform, suitable for advanced collections of USSR army visor caps and Cold War–era headgear
