    Interesting Communist Cap Cockade


    Recommended Posts

    OK, not a big uniform guy... but I have seen some Bulgarian Communist era uniforms and hats. Most of the cockades I have seen until now were one piece, painted and very "cheap" looking.

    This beret came with a documented KDS Badge. It's a two-piece cockade, base painted, top enameled and attached with prongs through the base and sweatband of the beret! Very high quality.

    The question is.... can anyone confirm the piping color for KDS?

Here are the two to compare:
