Here is a recent acquisition that I was very pleased to find:
The M-69 service uniform of a medical branch Colonel with sewn-on ribbons that reflect valorous service in the Great Patriotic War.
I feel certain that the Orders of Lenin, Red Banner, and at least one Order of the Red Star were awards for long service. But the ribbons also show the award of the Order of the Patriotic War, first and second class, and the medal for combat merit. This was one fighting medical officer !
The tunic (which came with the carmine-piped breeches) has three perfectly aligned holes for badges, and I placed what I thought would be appropriate badges on the tunic.
The Hero star is a PIN-BACK copy. I just wanted to add it to a uniform, and since it is pin-back, I did not need to create a hole where none existed. So no uniform was harmed in the making of this post ! :D
