This is cool! I've seen pages of this book floating around the internet, but I never knew what the book's title was.

That's unfortunate. Looks like we'll have to send someone on an expedition to Russia to bring us back a copy!

Yes, good idea!

Maybe the Russian Army can bring you a copy when they get to Belgium.

Tried something! The png pictures. Translated the text on the pages. Works fine. Not 100% of course; as military terminology is something special. But helpful! From cyrillic to Dutch or English or...And interesting: foreign army Tschapki: English, Austrian and...German/Saxon.
Note the Saxon has an "Intern tin inlay" with spikes for fixation of the mortar board neck...
-Anyone here who has a Sachsen Offz Tschapka in his collection??? Would you be so kind to check for this particular piece. Just take your scalpel and gently cut the layers...

As a guy who loves making historically accurate hats, I really appreciate these “exploded” views. Maybe I’ll try to make my own reproduction some day using a page from this book lol!

Really nice indeed. The author is a restorations specialist in the Saint-Petersburg Museum...[would love to visit...].Great to see [after translation] what materials/fabrics were used. Looking forward to see your first creation. For sure these pages will give you the inspiration.
