The item is a Soviet Officer Visor Cap (Blue Top) accessory, designed for minifigures.
Soviet Officer Peaked Cap (NKVD / Air Force Style) This is a premium 3D printed and hand-painted custom headgear accessory. It represents a Soviet military visor cap (Furazhka) with a distinctive color scheme:
-
Cornflower Blue Crown: The bright blue top is the signature color of the Soviet NKVD (Secret Police/Internal Troops) or the Soviet Air Force (VVS). In WWII history, “Blue Caps” were famously worn by NKVD officers who served as political commissars or rear-guard security units.
-
Tan/Khaki Band: The band around the hat is painted in a light tan or khaki color. While standard NKVD caps usually had a red band, this specific color combination might represent a field variation, a specific cavalry unit (like Cossacks in the Red Army), or a unique officer’s dress uniform.
-
Insignia: It features a Gold Star painted on the front band, identifying it as a Red Army or Soviet Union piece.
Background: The peaked cap was the standard headwear for Soviet officers throughout the 20th century. The specific color of the crown (top) and band denoted the wearer’s branch of service. The Blue Top is most iconic for the NKVD, the organization responsible for internal security during the Stalinist era. In a LEGO diorama, this hat is perfect for distinguishing a high-ranking Political Officer, an NKVD Commander, or a Soviet Pilot from the regular infantry (who typically wore green or khaki).
