I've actually personally seen the officers from this cavalry unit in Moscow with arm patches on in the early 90s.
The great thing about this group (as it was once mine) is the documents for it, with his photos in them wearing a very similar, if not the same uniform jacket!!! Dave |

Just found out that this unit was known as the the 11th Cavalry Regiment

I too believe ceremonial units wore patches and other accoutrements regular units didn't, but interesting how there are no patches on the officers' uniforms - either parade or regular.

Perhaps when officers were wearing the honor guard starburst badge, bullion-edged armpatches would also be worn. That's what I've observed when honor guard companies greeted VIP dignitaries at the airport tarmac ...

Guys,
If we are talking bullion embroidered patches, then that is altogether another matter, but the one on Doug's uniform is just the usual "plastic" patch. Marc |

cords
The officer in the photo is also not wearing the cords; perhaps the cords and patch went together on duty.
I can't say much more about it as its already in its new home, but the patch looked like it had been there and was well put on like most EM/NCO uniforms I have seen. dd |

On April 27, 1972, USSR MD Order No 91 established the special parade uniform for the Combined Cavalry Squadron of the 11th Separate Cavalry Regiment of Moscow Military District. On both sleeves of tunics and overcoats the arm badges were sewn: for officers and warrant officers — embroidered with yellow silk and the piping of gold purl, for the sergeants and soldiers — embroidered or of plastic. The same uniform was received by the personnel of the Army Central Sports Club (CSKA) Sport Cavalry Squadron. Since then the plastic arm badges were worn by all enlisted men of the Regiment and Squadron on the parade tunics and overcoats.
As far as honor guards are concern on February 16, 1971, USSR MD Order No 29 established the new special parade uniform for personnel of honor guard companies and bands, attached to them, in garrisons of Moscow, capitals of union republics, heroes-cities, and also in garrisons, where the military districts' and force groups' headquarters were located. On the right sleeve of tunics and overcoats of all servicemen the appropriate arm badge (Motorized Rifles, Air Force, musicians) was sewn. The arm badges for officers were embroidered with yellow silk and had the golden piping. The arm badges for soldier and sergeants could be embroidered or molded on of plastic. |

The Decision No 17-71 of the Technical Committee of the Clothing Supply Directorate dated March 15, 1971, (about the sewing of the special parade uniform), determined that the arm badges should be sewn on both sleeves.

In the beginning of 1972 decision was made by marshal Grechko for troops participating in the parades in Moscow to wear aiguillettes. Please note no arm badges for officers. Beginning from November 7 1972 parade this practice began. Speaking of marines again, here are two photographs from parade of 1971 and 1972.
