Thanks Commisar!!! I'm pretty sure that it's gold stars. I just wanted to be sure. Now I am. I'll order the stars from our New York dealer as well as the buttons.

Oh no problem, to be honest I am not really sure what the tiny silver stars do, I mean, I'm not sure which types of uniforms they go on.
Are there specifics on that?

I imagine that there are rules in the regulation books. I've heard that silver stars were for some technical service. I don't know. Hopefully someone here would know. If it's silver I have the stars. If it's gold or the green stars for the other boards, I don't have them.

Daily uniform of a Captain of the Medical Service. It was brought to my attention that While it may look ordinary at first glance, there are some interesting details. First, the cloth used in the set is much better than usually, second, the insignia is from the 1950s or 1960s rather than the 1980s - and finally, and most exciting - the graduation badge is a multi-piece Leningradskij Monetnij Dvor hallmarked medical school badge with hot red enamel.
