admiral of fleet of USSR
I have an admiral of fleet of USSR parade uniform with ribbon bar and some badges. It does not have a hole for the hero star. Were there admirals of fleet of USSR that did not have a hero star? The uniform seems to be "genuine" as far as the sleave rank and star with wreath as well as collar embroidery and shoulder boards. The uniform buttons have "68" on them. Could this be a uniform that was peiced together?
thanks, Larry |

This guy also wears one :-)
It is a surplus jacket with a ribbon bar that is supposed to be Gorshkov or so. The uniform is strictly for my own collection, a space filler until I can find a real one - or something with a rank close enough. Admiral Flota; right Doug? ;-) |

uniform
Larry,
These full Admiral of the Fleet of the USSR uniforms are quite common (both black and white), mostly made from 'parts' and sold in the open markets in Moscow, St.Pete, etc. The number of "Gorshkov" uniforms out there, if all real, would mean he wore a new outfit more often than the suitcase girls on 'Deal or No Deal'. Tretov, Be patient... :) good photo though of your office! DougD Moderator |
