In brown leather with a "cut-out star" buckle showing the Soviet state emblem and painted olive-drab. Belts of this type were authorized exclusively for generals and manufactured to the highest quality standard. The shoulder strap matches the belt perfectly and is clearly original to it. On the back, stamped on the suede portion is the maker's mark of the Leningrad's Marxist Factory showing a March 1978 date of manufacture and "OTK" quality inspection reference. Large size: the belt measures 48" in overall length. It will fit a 32" to 39" waist with the adjustment holes made at the factory, but if desired, extra holes can be made to extend it by up to 2" or to make it fit almost any smaller waist size.

In excellent, like new condition, apparently unused or worn only a few times. The leather is perfectly fresh, "healthy" and supple, and shows a very nice sheen. The OD pain on the hardware is nicely preserved and free of significant scuffs or scratches.

Although the subdued hardware makes this belt less spectacular than the contemporary model for a general's service uniform, this belt is of the same quality. In our experience, the field version is far more scarce than the service one, especially in a condition as superb as the example offered here.
