NEW UNIFORM, PLEASE HELP
Hey, I am new to collecting and I am putting together a soviet major's (artilery) parade uniform from the mid to late '80s. I have the cap, belt, and forest green uniform, but I haven't been able to find any reliable information on what kind of medals, orders, and badges an artilery major would have. In my research I have found that there are numerous academy graduation badges, proficiency badges, and orders that are worn on the right side of the uniform, but I don't know which would be correct on for a major or where exactly I would put them.
I also am unsure of some medals. I have concluded that the 60 and 7o anniversaries of the Red Army medals would fit (assuming a typical Soviet Major has been in the service between 13-17 years like the US military). Also, I assumed the medal for combat merits (grey ribbon with gold outline and a silver medal with a crossed sword and rifle) would fit for a veteran of Afgahistan. Finally, I figured the 10 and 15 year service medals would fit. As for orders, I think the order of the Red Star fits and the Soviet Guards Badge. Please let me know if there are some assumptions I am making that are wrong or if there are some awards/proficiency badges that I should have as an artilery major. Please specify what awards are basically the bare essentials that every major would have and then specify what are some of the higher ones and finally the ones that a major would have if my character was on his way to be a marshal. I have not been able to find any good or comprehensive sources on this and I would really appreciate it if I could get some good info on what is worn, where to wear it and what it looks like. thank you so much for your help everyone, -90cent |
