Yes that is MY uniform, glad you discuss it, I can tell you it was bought in Latvia by a business companion of mine from a man that he have bought several uniforms from. I dont know if the setup is realistic or not, but I can not - and I dont want to either - remove a medal just because 'experts from the west' think it is unrealistic.
It did not have any Order of Lenin, why should I remove it, since if there had been one, it had most likely been a wearers copy, and there is no use removing a such one and thus destroying the set just to earn 75 USd from selling it.
And, Mr Tal Inbar, what is so fun with the statement that this uniform is not a reproduction made up from single medals, as is often seen on eBay? I am honest, this uniform was purchased like this, I have not done any changes to it whatsoever.
I have found no errors (checking with the 1988 issue of the regulations) in the placement of the medals, apart from the Berlin medal which should be next to Warszawa medal.
I will gladly answer any questions (at least try to!), send images or whatever, I have nothing to hide.
Best regards,
Patrik
