The pre-war tunic of a General of NKVD Internal Security, with the brick red collar tabs bordered by rasberry colored piping. The officers of this rank were formally known as "senior commanders", since the General's rank had not yet been introduced. This tunic is interesting in that it is set up for two screw-back awards, and the holes for them have been nicely finished off with thread edging, rather that the customary simple push-through-if-you-can-find-it- hole used to wear the awards.
