Striking Doc!

Amazing uniform!
Reminds me of the Hunt for Red October! :D So cool.
I believe my Russian Fed. uniform is a medics tunic but I am missing the shoulder boards.

This photo is for sale from a very large New Jersey dealer of orders and medals...nice early postwar shot of a Medical officer.

Major General of the Medical Service Walking-out Parade uniform.
The ribbon bar does seem to be at least 1" lower than it should be. But, I'm not sure I want to move it.

:thumbsup:thumbsup Doc

Meet Vasiley a Major General of the Medical Service. I still think that his ribbon bar needs to come up an inch but I don't want to screwup the uniform.

:thumbsup:thumbsup Doc

Doc,

I agree with you, the ribbon bar is too low.

Agree as well, regulationwise and estethically it should be higher, maybe as much as two inches. From the "cut" in the collar, the top edge of the ribbon bar should be placed 7 centimetres down. But if the wearer and owner wore it this way, who are we as mere collectors to make changes?

Also, skip the belt; as it is a parade-walkout, the belt was not used :)

Apart from that - looks great! :thumbsup

Hmmm.
I remember one thing.
If your coat has 1958 buttons you are able to use shoulder boards with normal width like this.

What color of small stars? Silver (I think)?:confused:

You could add more ribbons?! :thumbsup

Does anybody know where I can find regulation books?
