m1945 Naval Tunics
Guys,
Are these good? Are they 1945 or post 1945? What branches are they? What should they be worth? Uniform #1:

Huligan,
They look good to me. First one is for technical/engineering service (can't tell precisely, I don't have my references handy) and not very common with the silver thread and the cartouches on the cuffs. Second one looks a bit weird to me. Boards with red piping could be artillery but lack branch insignae and are on a full naval suit. If it were so, if should also have the drums on the cuffs instead of the anchors. Regular naval officers' suit such as these go for about $600 in St Petersburg, but that is when you find them, they are not the most common these days.

tunics
Marc is correct, the first tunic is naval-technical service jr officer. Its a nice example. The second one is a problem; it is a line officer tunic and should have regular line officer boards; the boards here are for naval land service; if the tunic was for that then it would need red piping and cuff bars, not anchors.

Doug & Marc,
So is the 1st tunic a 1945 or later example? How do you tell? Thanks! Rusty.

Rusty,
Both are 1945 "Parad Pobiedy" models that were used until the 1954 reform. Marc |

Marc,
Thanks! I'll contact the seller and get the 1st one. I guess the stamps inside should tell me a better story once I get it... Thanks again! Rusty.

Rusty,
unlike the army examples, its very tough to tell if the naval tunic is 1945 or later. dd |

I'll post some pics once I receive it...
I got a deal on it, I hope... $350 shipped. Does this hat go with this tunic? What belt do I use with it? I need to find the pants for this tunic too, or the mannequin might feel naked :yow Thanks! Rusty.

cap
The cap you posted is for senior officers ( brim decorated); you need one with no brim decoration and with silver cap insignia.
