Measures 8.5" x 11", laminated soft cover, 372 pp., printed on high-quality paper with hundreds of high-resolution photos, and exhaustive descriptions written by a collector for collectors, in a language used by collectors, with Russian terms and letter codes carefully translated into English and explained in English.

Brand-new never-used condition.

It is hard to imagine a serious collector of Soviet visor caps, uniforms, and militaria in general, without this reference source. Its comprehensive, painstakingly detailed, and totally reliable systematized information on the visor hats of each main branch of the Soviet Armed Forces is not only an invaluable source of knowledge at your fingertips, but provides a solid basis for spotting fakes among them, and does it in the language used by collectors. In fact, the entire Chapter 9 deals with fakes.

In short, if you collect Soviet hats and do not have this book to guide you, you open yourself to potential risk. There are many fakes, manufactured as early as the 1990s, well-made, some of them well-worn, some of them very expensive.

Randall Stewart is one of the world's best experts and collectors of Soviet militaria. For twenty-one years, he served as a U.S. Army Military Intelligence and Foreign Area Officer focusing on the Soviet military, eventually becoming the senior Russian armed forces analyst with the Defense Intelligence Agency.
