Medical Uniforms and Insignia

[Tretov]

Doc, please what is the difference between this doc with red piping and those with rapsberry piping?

The raspberry piping was changed for red in 1980.

So, how do you explain that a pre-1980 medical uniform has red piping?

The raspberry piping that was used for medical service from 1969 was changed for red in 1980. I think medical personnel assigned to other units, maybe they could use the branch color of that unit, which would explain other pipings. If I am wrong, then please by all means enlighten us with your knowledge.

laurel leaves are silvered? I do have a naval engineer: gold leaves, hammer and wrench on shoulder boards, but silver cap insignia like yours...
