This cap has a silver lace (a silver tape) the Silver tape for the officer form On metal plate is written for bravery .The cap is found in the city of Tver where in 1914-1917 there were army warehouses and Cavalry school of Russian army .Color of a cap is specified probably the property of the officer Preobrazhenskiy shelf. However I doubt of this property.Inside inscription-N2 (Nicolas 11) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodorosl Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 George, these are parade kivers used by Guard regiments, this particular one having silver "galun", blue band and yellow piping belonged to Guard Keksholmsky regiment, the only thing is the cocade is restored and the scroll is incorrect for that regiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not the big expert on imperial army. Quite probably it is Keksholmsky. However the scroll real historical. I shall try to show a photo from a museum with very similar cap.
