East German Volksmarine Hat Ribbon
The East German Volksmarine Hat Ribbon is the original cap tally worn on the round sailor's cap of the GDR's naval forces during the Cold War. Black woven ribbon with "Volksmarine" embroidered in gold thread, measuring roughly 60 inches long by 1.25 inches wide — the regulation pattern issued from 1960 through 1990. Trailing tails hang from the rear of the cap in classic European naval tradition. A genuine piece of NVA surplus, well suited to collectors of DDR militaria, uniform restorers, and reenactors building an authentic Volksmarine kit.
