I have purchased a soviet colonel of the artillery parade uniform and about 7 medals, 5 badges, and 2 university/academy badges. The uniform was bought seporately from the decorations and the decorations were all bought from various sources.
My questions are this:
I have the yellow parade belt, but the pants have belt loops. I have not been able to find anything on what the uniform belt is for the pants. Info and pictures would help.
Also, I have noticed that the medals on the pictures of parade uniforms I have found online are all connected with a medal clasp that connects 3-5 medals in a row so they can be attached to the uniform neater and easier. Where can I find thes so I can attach my individual medals to them?
Finally, I have seen various examples of Soviet uniforms online from a few sources,but the pictures show somewhat inconsistant placement. I still cannot determine what the official regialtions are on where to put decorations. I am looking for specific regulations on where to put my various badges and medals in relation to the tunic and collar. Something similar to what the US military puts out (where they define that the name tag is worn above and touching the left pocket (AF), specialty badge is worn 1/2 above the right pocket, US pins are worn parallel to the ground, 1 inch above that notch in the collar etc)
I would really appreciate info on this more than anything because I really want to get the placement right. I am a stickler for historical acuracy and I am even more adament about getting this right because I will have to poke large perminant holes in the uniform since the Soviets used screw backings for some reason.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
