Need help identifying...

Bought a uniform today (jacket/pants). I've come across similar uniforms on the net, but not one like it. (I believe it's a 1-star generals uniform, but not sure what kind :o)

Something that got me curious is that someone has ripped off/removed the collars that was embroidered on. Also after buying the uniform i noticed that inside a pocket inside the jacket there was a plastic bag with two collar tabs.

Pictures of the uniform i bought under (and the cap i had from before):

Re: Need help identifying...

It is a soviet general's (major-general) everyday uniform, but someone have removed the collar embroidery - the only thing to do with that is to make a new one - and that is a work for a specialist.
The collar tabs are also general's, but are for an overcoat.

As for the cap - I would have to have a look at the inside of it, but it looks like officer's everyday cap with officer's parade badge.

Large size (60), date is almost certainly 1989 which fits the visor type, and is definately not general's.

Re: Need help identifying...

Ok, thank you so much :)

Any idea where where to go if i was to get the collars broidered on again?
Would probably need a close-up picture of a collar, and someone with good skills with a needle and thread :)

Re: Need help identifying...

It will be a difficult task to have the embroidery done... As mentioned, the cap is not for general - it is an officers cap. If You're interested, I have a spare cap for general (with embroidery still present ;) )

The cap for general doesn't have to have embroidery - from 1969 to 1980 the generals everyday caps had no embroidery.
As for the embroidery on the collar, I know only one specialist who could do it, but he's in Poland, so the transport costs would make it not worth it.
