Here is a picture of Naval Infantry major Victory Leonev. I have a couple of questions about his uniform.
1. were the anchors embrodered or were they metallic?
2. The gold wire lines around the collar. Was it the case that there was one line for junior officers and two for senior officers?
The picture came form the book Blood on the Shores which is about the first Naval infantry unit belonging to the Baltic Fleet. Not a bad read but it is subject to the usual commie propaganda of the era.
