Soviet Visor Cap with Added Side Stars – Attributed To Zabolotny

Soviet visor cap attributed to Zabolotny, featuring a khaki crown, red wool band and piping, enlisted or cadet star-in-wreath cockade, black leather chinstrap, and three gilt stars on each side of the band. Interior factory markings remain visible together with a handwritten Cyrillic surname inscription. Side stars copy shoulder-board rank stars and were not a regulation feature of Soviet general visor caps. Named ceremonial or later-modified cap rather than confirmed general-officer issue. Light patina is visible to some fittings, though the lining, sweatband, and insignia remain intact and clean.
