This one is available from a dealer in the US, from which I have purchased several very nice items. However, this uniform looks very odd. The buttons seem to go far too long "upwards" on the tunic.

Note the small hole on the first pic just above the ribbons. Traces of a Hero of USSR star?
I have gone back over the Soviet admirals' uniforms all the way to 1945. Those buttons are definitely wrong, spread out all over the jacket. I am trying to find a navy that had such a configuration but am not having much luck with the whites.
I think that it was home made and they just didn't even get close. I wouldn't display that one because it is not, in some fairly significant ways, "representative." Instinct on the buttons was absolutely correct.
As you can see with the attached pic, this document is one of these uniforms ALWAYS, at every moment, on sale on web sites.
I would recommand the greatest prudence. Be careful !!
To be honest - that company (you surely know it) is quite good in making their items good looking on photos, probably using Photoshop or any similar program. The uniforms look lovely. Way expensive though. As with most of my questions, it is just of curiousity, not "about to buy"-iness.
