Soviet caps trade
Where you can find new Soviet caps for your collection? Unfortunately, you can't buy them on bottles any more. Something can be found on avito.ru, meshok.net and websites like that. I better like make trades with my colleagues collectors. I have many caps for trade, steel and aluminum. So, if you have some trade material, please leave comment under this topic or write to my contacts!

As I announced earlier I've completed to draw help pictures of variation's key features. While I did that I managed to fix some errors in catalog, in calendars. I rearranged Moscow variations with many small differences - the variations have been grouped and now base variations can be found less complicated way.
Fonts on Soviet caps
You have maybe noteced alikeness of caps from different factories or even cities. Indeed, fonts were changing during production years. I mostly like old 50th, 60th! Standard fonts described in GOSTs. So, I googled and discovered some: GOST 2930-62, GOST 2.304-81, GOST 26.008-85.
