ASTP Baseball Cap and Soviet Belt Buckle

ASTP Baseball Cap and Soviet Belt Buckle A striking red, white and blue baseball cap with an original Crew Patch on the front. ALSO a brass belt buckle (3x2") with a raised Russian Star and Hammer and Sickle on the face. The cap shows sweat stains so it was probably worn before, during and after the flight by Deke, perhaps both here and in Russia. The belt buckle is definitely of Russian manufacture and may have been given Deke as a present by one of the men he worked with during ASTP. An attractive pair. Ex. The Deke Slayton Family collection.
