General's ruberized coat - modern, fake or legit?
I came across this one lately - It's artillery major-general coat. Looks exactly like standard summer coat at first glance, but after a loce examination it turns out to be ruberized cloth, the same as used in officers' rain capes. I could accept the fact, that generals had such stuff (altough I don't remember ever hearing of them), but few things make me suspicious:
1.that "net" at the top of the inside makes me think of very modern products - not something I would expect on soviet clothes. 2.It can be post-1991, but than I would expect it to have 6-sided boards, not 4-sided. 3.It could be very late soviet, but then shouldn't it have collar tabs as well? 4.The lack of the collar tabs could indicate a field use, but shoulderboards are definately everyday, not field, and also there's no space forthe shoulder strap under the board (tough that regulation was rarely followed from what I observed), which may indicate that the only use for this coat would be walking-out/outof formation everyday. On the other hand - the boards seem to be professionally sewn to the coat. Unfortunately, I don't have my 1988 reg book at hand and cannot access the the website where it's published. Any thoughts?
