I have recently obtained a set of soviet navy junior officer parade shoulder boards. They still have the factory string that attaches them together and have no stars on them. What confuses me is that these are 1.5 cm longer than the other jacket boards (on both long sides)! I am very confused, are these great coat boards? If so did officers wear parade shoulder boards on their great coats? I thought they wore the black boards on their coats like the person shown below. I know the cap does not match the coat ok?
