Tank/Artillery Officer Parade Visor Hat 1970-1991 Identical in all respects to its Motorized Rifle counterpart except for the band (black instead of red), this style cap remained unchanged from 1970 through 1991. It has the traditional black velvet band with red piping used by Soviet armor and artillery officers. As part of the 1970 regulations' simplification of branch colors, this cap was also prescribed for officers of Special Troops (velvet was not ''officially'' authorized for Special Troops' black bands until 1989, but it appears this was largely ignored). This 1978-dated cap also has the ''saddle'' form crown but has the earlier fiberboard visor indicative of pre-1980's production.
