Description

M 1941 Red Army field badge for a side cap, olive drab, the type used from 1941 through 1960s.
These are GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL cap stars made in the Soviet Union exclusively for the use by the military – NOT a replica or recent reissue!
Made in steel and paint, about 25 mm wide. We have several in stock, all in Excellent Condition, with intact, fully functional prongs.  The shade of color may differ slightly from slightly lighter olive drab to darker green.
(
Please note:
the prongs are NOT designed for punching a hole in the side cap – if you try to do that, you are risking breaking the prongs, in which case our return policy will not apply. To attach the hat badge, make a hole in the front seam of the side cap with a sharp tool such as thin screw driver or ice pick, then drive the prongs through the hole and spread them out on the inside to affix the hat badge).
After 1941 painted hat badges of this size were often used on the field by both enlisted men and officers. /Shown in Kutsenko’s Russian language catalog "Hat Badges", page 6, figure 17/
