Hello,
At the recent Show of Shows there were a few killer cloth items available from a vendor. If memory servers me right he had an air marshal's VP tunic, a general of naval aviaition VP tunic, some just great dress general's & even an admiral's dress visors and even a marshal's visor.
Some highly desirable tunics and hats to say the least. Just how many chances does one get to examine a visor marshal's visor like that and then to have the chance to purchase it, well I was shocked to see it still available on Saturday.
I have been to about eight or nine SOS's to date. This year was by far, the worst for available Soviet awards to purchase. A few nice things for sure but not like a few years ago when the only roadblock to collecting was the depth of the checkbook! It seems that these days when I do have some money to spend I am not able to find a nice medal or group to add. Frustrating to say the least.
Happy hunting. Clete
