it is indeed a very nice uniform and cap.
the cap looks like it was never used.
the coat is the type thats was worn for winter service and parade.
it was always worn with the fur gray hat.

They should be?
Hmm, that can be fixed...
Say, how would I get the shoulder boards off if I wanted to?

i wouldnt do it if i were you, but it´s easy. you just cut the stitches and then remove the remaining thread. sewing them on again is rather hard though.

Nice set! EC is correct though, the stars are for a senior officer but the boards are for a jr. officer...i am sure on E you can find the smaller jr officer boards...also, leave the boards...once you remove them you can never get them back on in 'original' form. its a good set at a great price!

i used the same holes of the stitches used to attach the obverse pattern to the cardboard epaulet body. the holes were not that small, so the needle entered easily.
