Light Blue/Royal Blue Piping

Doug, that is a good question. My only guess might be a difference in Soviet manufacturers based upon location. The other possibility is that the light blue piping represents a specific branch of the Coal Mining industry, like engineering for example. Likewise, it could distinguish a cadet or training position from a front line officer or NCO. Anyway, I am sure Randy might have some insight that we are neglecting...By the way, the Mining General tunic must be something to see. I can't imagine more than one kicking around. The owner must be very happy with it.
