I am most honored to add this beautiful set to my collection. These do not pop up much any more.
I understand that this one is tailor made too. The trousers have the blue pin stripe piping down each side. I am very excited about this one. There are no provisions for awards and there were none most likely ever worn on this jacket! The photos were taken by the member I bought the set from. This, for me, is another great center piece set. I am very thankful to be able to add it to my collection. Last edited by CtahhR; 05-28-2012 at 01:55 PM. |

Re: Really nice KGB Captain's uniform on the way.
Nice one! Haven't seen any for sale in quite some time.
Awards should not go with this uniform, but a humble ribbon bar (I would expect a captain to have served at least 10 years and thus have the irreproachable service medal and Armed forces anniversary medal) would look nice on it. |

Re: Really nice KGB Captain's uniform on the way.
Nice set! You're building up quite a collection! On a small notice, the visor cap badge is for aviation officer, it should be the small oval badge instead. This is easily changed. I also agree with Al-Muell, since this is a service uniform, no awards are worn. Rather, you are looking for a humble :) ribbon bar and a 1-2 badges, like a graduation badge and some (copy of) a KGB badge.

Without intending it, a number of uniforms (mostly pre-GPW) have "happened to" me. |

Re: Really nice KGB Captain's uniform on the way.
At the moment, she's very good about my medal collecting, i suppose that's because my collection is so small (and it's shiny, and she loves shiny things) haha.
I never really thought about the storage and cleaning aspects, maybe it's a step too far for now! If i stumble upon one being given away for the right price though, i might "accidentaly" buy it though! :D Tommy |

Re: Really nice KGB Captain's uniform on the way.
Don't listen to this guy. He does not know what he is talking about. There is nothing wrong keeping two, three or even four of your shirts on one cloth hanger in the closet just to make space for those wonderful pieces of Soviet cold war history. A fight a little now and then, in magnitude about the size of Hungary 1956 over the new, heavy-wool 1956 parade set of a railway troops captain is nothing to worry about, it just keep 'em spouses, girlfriends and other cats in the household in an inspiring, fresh mood and helps keeping the air clean.

Re: Really nice KGB Captain's uniform on the way.
I soon found that 1 or 2 in the back of the wardrobe turned into their own wardrobe.. follow by a second... and then a trunk too.
They all get a good airing about once a year. You have to be very careful of damp and insects when stored and sunlight when "on display".

Re: Really nice KGB Captain's uniform on the way.
Tell me about it. I started off only wanting medical uniforms... then came the opportunity to obtain a killer paratrooper set, followed by a once in a lifetime Coast Guard set, followed by this KGB set... So many cool and unique things are coming out lately.
