An original 1950 tunic?

[MarvWe]

Hi,
I saw this nice looking tunic for sale. It's dated 1950.
The rank is a sershant of artillery. Do you think it's original?
Thank you and have a happy easter.

Original tunic with original, but mismatch shoulder boards. Piping on tunic and shoulder boards should be the same.

Thank you for your answer. To which branch of service does the tunic match then?

I think the tunic matches to Artillery or tank forces.

best regards

The badges on the shoulder boards indicate artillery. So, do tunic and boards/collar tabs match?

MarvWe,

The boards should have red piping.

Tunics with red piping were issued to privates and NCO of artillery and aerial units of artillery, armor troops, automobile troops and automobile units in all branches of service.

To NCO of technical, quartermaster, medical, veterinary and administrative service if they served in units mentioned above.

In each case appropriate shoulder boards and collar tabs were used.

The shoulder boards mismatched the tunic, emblems mismatch the shoulder boards. And I always thought "A picture is worth a thousand words".

Ah okay, now I see. Thank you vadim.

This is tank or artillery troops officer tunic without collar tabs and sleeve insignia and with mismatch sergant shoulderboards.

This is officer tunic

This is most definitely not an officer tunic.
