Here is the M1955 parade dress tunic of Marshal USSR Chuikov, the not well loved hero of Stalingrad (even Zhukov said he was a thug!).

The tunic is the very nice early postwar quality, almost that of the M1945. Has his 2 HSU holes, but they did not come out in the photo.

Soon to be on its way to its new home in Europe, I'll enjoy it while I have it; I hate giving this one up, reminds me of museum displays in Volgograd.

Wow. That'd be sick centerpiece to the collection, especially if you had a few pounds of metal to occupy the holes.

Simply beautiful. Makes me wish more money than I wish before seeing this kinda babies.:o
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
The Who, Won't get fooled again

Great photo of Chuikov and unidentified Lt.General, General of the Army Luchinsky and General of the Army Bagramyan. Photo is in 1955; before Bagramyan was made a Marshal USSR but after Luchinsky got his fourth star.

Check out Chuikovs teeth! Reminds me of 'Jaws' from Moonraker.
