註釋Although relatively unknown in the West, the panoply of Soviet civilian and military uniforms that existed during the Cold War (1945-1991) was unsurpassed by that of any other country since the fall of Nazi Germany. Following the collapse of the USSR and subsequent increased travel and correspondence opportunities, worldwide interest in these uniforms-and their collection-expanded significantly. Perhaps the most important of the "subspecialties" associated with this field is that of visor caps ("furazhka" in Russian). Documenting the different manufacturers' labels and interior markings used by Soviet industry on military and civilian uniform visor caps of the Cold War period (1945-1991), this expanded 135-page, 6 x 9" paperback 2nd edition provides the only comprehensive illustration of such markings in any language. Examples of all markings are pictured, Russian/Ukrainian text and abbreviations are explained and a full English translation of each provided. Histories of the primary headdress manufacturers, along with known dates of use for each manufacturer's label/stamp variant are also recorded. Since interior markings are often heavily worn and largely illegible, this book will help collectors date and fully identify the origin of their caps. And because interior markings serve as a primary means of determining cap authenticity, the reader can more readily detect fakes and reproductions.
