Olympian1010 7,572 Posted January 28, 2020 #5341 Share Posted January 28, 2020 @Dmitry So the cap has a pin from Moscow, was made in Nizhny Novgorod, features a pin from Novgorod, and somehow made its way to the 1974 Ukrainian Spartakiad. That’s so awesome. I really need to dig, and figure out how I came to be in possession of this. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Looks like a stylized Early Cyrillic alphabet. Olympian1010 and Agger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap was made in Knyaginino, about 100 km from Nizhny Novgorod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,572 Posted January 29, 2020 #5344 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Well, if the cap was made in 1985 (assuming that’s what the 85 means), the 1974 Spartakiad pin is a even bigger mystery then. The cap is very nice quality by the way. It was clearly made to last. It would be quite warm in the winter I think. Edited January 29, 2020 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world.

I can’t wait to find out how wrong I am Double-headed Eagle is a tradition to Orthodox countries and the former Holy Roman Empire (aka the First Reich). Austria retained it after the HRE folded amid the Napoleonic wars. Obviously Poland never adopted the Double-headed Eagle as its coat of arms so you are totally wrong here (not for the first time when it comes to Polish history).
