Unfinished general's uniform

Al-muell · 04-20-2005, 07:08 AM

This uniform seems to be unfinished. What would be a reason for that? Is it "reserve" uniform (the guy ordered two)? Wrong size? Owner died?
Thanks in advance

Fake maybe? Do you know its origin?

Are those being faked? Wouldn't a fake have all the "accesories" (to make it more attractive)?
Anyway - I am not sure of the origin, but I've bought it togeather with other items, usualy with labels indicating Belarus. I don't remember for sure, but this one probably has a label of WOENTORG in Minsk in the inside pocket. I'll check it.

If it has the Voyentorg label, I'd say it is just an unissued generals or marshals uniform that never found its way to any owner, thus lacking shoulderboards and collar insignias.

Perhaps it was simply never asked for by anyone, and it was kept in a storage together with several other similar tunics. If it was produced in the late 1980-ties, the Soviet Union may have disappeared before any general
or marshal aquired it from the tailor storages.

:(
A small mistake - the label saying "shevnoye atelie Woyentorg g. Minsk" is on the trousers That accompanied the jacket when I gought it. The jacket has nó markings.
Sorry for the mistake.
