In fine quality gold brocade identical to that used on admiral and general dress belts. The width is 4.5 cm (1 ¾ "), slightly narrower than similar generals belts. The buckle is in solid brass. Gold brocade belts such as this one were issued exclusively to Full Colonels in the Soviet Armed Forces, as opposed to lower ranking officers who used similar belts in softer gold cloth. The liner shows a stamp of a leather goods factory in Moscow showing Size 3 (XXL, the largest produced) as well as a factory quality control stamp. When fully extended to the maximum length allowed by the grommet

The liner shows a stamp of a leather goods factory in Moscow showing Size 3 (XXL, the largest produced) as well as a factory quality control stamp. When fully extended to the maximum length allowed by the grommets, the belt will fit up to a 50" waist, but it is easily adjustable to almost any smaller size.

In excellent condition. The gold tress is well preserved and bright, no noticeable wear, snags or other damage. The brass parts are bright, free of tarnish or verdigris.
