✨ Description
A genuine and characterful piece of Soviet military history: this original sailor cap, known as a "bezkozyrka," was worn by cadets from a Soviet naval military school (Военно-морское училище). It features the classic red star emblem with hammer and sickle, framed by a golden laurel wreath, and is adorned with the iconic black ribbon bearing gold Cyrillic lettering. Produced in 1991 — the final year of the USSR — this cap is more than just a uniform piece; it’s a tangible relic from the last chapter of the Soviet Union.
🏛 Origin & Maker
The cap was made in the former USSR, likely in Russia (or possibly Ukraine, as some variants were manufactured there). The inner stamp features a factory mark in Russian. It was most likely produced by a Soviet state-run textile factory specializing in military clothing, possibly a "Швейная фабрика" (sewing workshop). Its 1991 production date makes this one of the last official issues of Soviet naval uniforms.
🧭 Usage & Function
This type of cap was worn by naval school students and cadets, likely as part of their daily uniform or during parades and ceremonies. The flat top, black ribbon with anchors, and front emblem give it the instantly recognizable Soviet Navy style. Today, it is a popular collectible, display item, or accessory for film, photoshoots, cosplay, or historical reenactments.
