Well, I would not classify it as an M1945, but its close enough; also, this is the type he did actully wear at the 1945 VP.
This is a parade uniform for Foreign Minister of the USSR V. Molotov; the rank was only used since March of 1945 and only ( i hate to use the word only any more since i messed up on Issakov) was used by Molotov. There was the hole for his HSL ( i used a copy). Many of these caps ( not that there are alot of them) ome through with the cap badge having been changed due to new regulations in 1946; this still has the original cap badge. Here is a close up of his unique boards; I'd kill to take these off to keep! Like other diplomatic boards they are narrower and backed in bright red. DD Close up ( little blurry) of his cuff.-DD Last edited by CtahhR; 04-16-2014 at 02:52 PM. |

Molotov
Here is a ( i think touches up a bit) photo of Molotov in 1945. I have not been able to find any other shots of him wearing the uniform. DD
