Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Soviet "Afghanka" Field Cap, late 1980s issue. This is a GUARANTEED ORIGINAL piece of headgear made in the Soviet Union specifically for military use, NOT a civilian item, replica or post-Soviet issue! The cap is in rough olive drab cotton twill. The type with Soviet brass buttons showing the manufacturer's logo and date on the back. Comes with a period Soviet Enlisted Man / NCO hat badge. There is a rectangular logo of an unknown Soviet manufacturer stamped on the liner; the liner also shows the size stamp “57”, which is roughly equal to the US size 7 1/8 / MEDIUM. These distinctive caps were designed before WW2 to fill the need for a practical & rugged cap for troops deployed to tropical border regions. The cap became famous during the occupation of Afghanistan where it was synonymous with the Soviet fighting man. The pattern is unique among various military boonie hats due to its pointed top and numerous grommet ventilators, both of which serve to keep heat away from the wearer. Ideal for a variety of weather conditions, from sun to rain. The cap is in UNISSUED, NEAR MINT condition: perfectly preserved and free of stains, mildew, musty smell or other problems common for items that have spent decades in an uninsulated Soviet military warehouse.
