Diplomatic Uniforms and Insignia

[Tretov]

Very nice! I love the black one, would really want one for my collection!

[Commissar]

Very nice uniforms, I guess not much has changed recently from the uniform itself aside from that eagle?

[Lapa]

Commissar,

The embroidery pattern on the cuffs has changed, in addition to smaller details here and there.

Two nice photos of a WWII Diplomat.

I'm surprised the general in the second picture could get away with such a "hitler-ish" moustasche.

Isn't that Voroshilov? I got a bust where he also has that Hitler-style mustache :D

[DougD]

To heavy and too tall I think to be Voroshilov...probably just a Lt.General with bad facial hair.

Unfortunately, that was a common style in Europe at the time. :(
But hey, when we look back at how we looked in the 1980s, people in the future will be dismayed.:laff

Well, Charlie Chaplin had one, I guess anybody can. ;)

I actually saw one of these for sale on E, I was sort of tempted to buy it simply because I was reading this thread and was mildly inspired.
But then I saw the price and it was a whopping 350 bucks, granted it is even in my size of 60 but thats still too bloody steep I say!

Lonny.
