M/69 Airforce major service uniform - Tretov - 10-08-2008
I got this uniform the other day and I like its appearance. Nothing really spectacular though, late 1970s.
The leaves on the visor cap were there and removing them would leave ugly holes in the visor, so I'll leave them.
Enjoy :)

Worth to mention, the set is with breeches, I think it would be nice to mount on a mannequin with boots etc! Anyone with a spare pair of service boots?

worn or brand new?

There is nothing "new" on this one, but I can agree that the set is customized as the belt does not have the shoulder part and the map bag may be for enlisted men. I have already mentioned the cap and its improvements.

The belt looks like a east german officer service leather belt.

I have checked the belt and there are no markings or stamps on it, but you may be right. It was all received as a lot and I agree that the correct would be to have a shoulder-belt "one piece" and not as now with the map case separate from the belt.

Very impressive uniform, despite its odd custom parts.
