One of the reasons I did not buy it when offered to me was that I am pretty sure (90%) that is is Sokolovsky's. It does have an HSU hole (there are more detailed shots; I'll see if i can find them) and has an order hole on the right breast that is very high up, near the shoulderboard really; this would have been for an order on hanger (pre43) which Sokolovsky wore.
I can find no other Marshal who it matches up too, and I did look for awhile before making my decision.
If you want one, its very well priced, but part of the low price is that its not, technically speaking,wartime made. I have sold a few of these and the one post war one I sold ( Bulganin) simply did not have the same "power" as the wartime ones. Who owed these high end uniforms really made a difference in value.
