thats not bad at all. I paid £70 for a KGB tunic and £75 for a tank major's tunic.

Neither have I seen buttons on the shoulder boards on any M1955 parade tunic. The shoulder boards were identical in shape to M1969 shoulder boards. Bit of a strange on there...
The shoulder board as far as I can tell (from this angle anyway) seems authentic but I would need to see it at horizontal angle to be 100% sure. The button on the shoulder board looks like it is from the correct era but should definitely not appear on the shoulder board. All shoulder boards should be stitched to the shoulder (after 1949). If there were exceptions then this practice is not according to regulations and certainly not widespread.
