Description: This auction is for ONE (1) SOVIET RUSSIAN RED ARMY MAJOR GENERAL'S OD SERVICE or EVERYDAY UNIFORM, dated 1978, COMPLETE VG-EXC SZ 44L. The uniform is of a light OD-ish brown color includes: 1) tunic, with gold wire, laurel branch embroidery on the collars, and bright red piping on the cuffs and collar, and OD silk shoulder boards with the single, embroidered wire star of a major general, 2) a NEW pair of matching trousers (tag attached) with general officers' bright red leg stripes (lampasi), consisting of two broad stripes and a length of piping in the middle, down the outside side seams, size approximately is 34-35" in the waist, with a length of about 32-33"), 3) an EXCELLENT condition (almost new) general officer's, coarse-woven, olive green service shirt (with the general's pebbled plastic domed buttons on the pockets and cuffs), and also featuring the proper major general's shirt shoulder boards), 4) and, to top it off, a correct silky textured general's pre-knotted necktie. This is for a BIG, but NOT fat, officer, and the condition is CONDITION is lightly used, but EXCELLENT PLUS, one might say ALMOST NOS, but not quite!! The tunic buttons in this case, are all dated 1978, which is a good indication of the age of the tunic, while the trousers are factory made with an attached tag indicating a size of approximately 34"-35" X 34", and a date of manufacture of 1970. The size of the shirt looks to be appropriate to the size on the tunic. There are NO badges or ribbon bar included with this uniform. The uniform displays NO mothing, fraying, exterior stains or odors, NOR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND, and appears virtually new, though I'm listing it as VG-EXC condition These uniforms have become difficult to obtain, what with the correct nasty situation between Russia and the Ukraine. I have two of these, both listed here on eBay, the other one showing more actual use than this one, but still a wonderful set, and that uniform is in a smaller size 42R, or slightly larger. BOTH of these were brought from Russia, by me personally, during one of my first visits there in 1993, and have been in my personal collection, in a smoke and odor-free environment, ever since that time. Shipping is to be via USPS INSURED Priority Mail LARGE FLAT RATE BOX, with a fixed charge of $22.80 PLEASE, ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING, and STUDY THE AUCTION PHOTOS CAREFULLY, as they are of THE ACTUAL uniform being offered.
