On the left breast, there is a set of sewn-in medal ribbon bars that includes ribbons for the Order for Service to Homeland in the Soviet Armed Forces, 3rd cl., several Jubilee medals, and three Length of Service medals. The ribbons indicate that the general started service in the military at some point from the late 1940s - mid-1950s and was still on active duty in the mid-1970s. The right breast has a single hole for a badge that was worn there, most likely a Guard's badge judging by the imprint it left on the tunic.
Medium / Large size: the chest measures approximately 42", the sleeves (from cuff to shoulder seam) are 23" long; the length from top of collar to bottom hem is 28".
Very good condition. There is no moth damage or tears visible. Although the tunic has been worn, it remains clean - although it may benefit from dry cleaning to get rid of the sweat smell. The shoulder boards have been shortened to fit the tunic and their inner edge is significantly tattered; nevertheless, they remain sound and the damage is practically invisible when the tunic is displayed in a regular way with the lapel down.
Please note, offered here is the tunic only; the shirt and tie shown in our photos are not included but may be available for purchase
separately.
