The uniform is being sold as "KGB Major General" and when I first asked about it, the seller back then told me it belonged to a Jakovenko. The price in store (both online and offline) is 4000 EUR. Last edited by Tretov; 12-23-2010 at 02:57 AM. |

Re: Ebay jokes
Guys,
That is just the Easter European version of customer care and service ![]() It is common everywhere in all the former socialist republics. Marc |

Re: Ebay jokes
Fortunately the Eastern European sellers who deal on ebay -at least in my personal experience- are quite different. Do you guys have experienced the same anytime?

Re: Ebay jokes
I thought there was something fishy about this uniform.
As for the cap, it looks like it could be real? But I thought they did not exist? And yeah, I've also noticed that eastern sellers are different, a couple I used to buy from regularly offered better customer service than many sellers in North America and England I'd purchased things from. But I guess thats not staying on topic. ![]() |

Re: Ebay jokes
Depends on how you define "real". The jacket as well as the cap is "real" - you can touch them. The set is however, to the best of my knowledge, not authentic but made for collectors. I got a colonel-general set myself.

Re: Ebay jokes
I would rather think of my colonel-general KGB uniform like Patrick's as a made-for-display uniform because then I don't mind punching the necessary holes to display a chest full of awards befitting a KGB general. Plus, whether the uniform is real or not is secondary to the fact that it looks really good with all the medals and other awards on it.

Re: Ebay jokes
Initially I thought this was a bad koke. Like, get your precedence in order!
But now I wonder if it's not chronologically correct and maybe an anomoly. I doubt it, though; too many years in between to not know the rules.

Re: Ebay jokes
Not an officially approved precedence but once a vet and out of service, who would dare give you a hard time? Here is a set I have which shows similar and there is no question it is a legit array because I have a picture of the old Starshina wearing the whole wad.
