Hello Shawn,
I have checked this book and there is nothing like that in the book at all from any period which does tend to make it suspiciuos looking. I have yet to be convinced that it is genuine.

His book is good for a general reference but also leaves alot out and has errors. I say police because it has that general feel to me looking at the insignia; might just have that look due to the throwing on whatever they had. Police regulations were also a bit more informal; I am guessing that a local Police colonel would be high up ebnough to perhaps make his own summer tunic if he wished without getting into problems with the higher ups.

I do not think they would hange or add piping to a $70 uniform. I could see ( and have seen) piping changed from light air force blue to deep NKVD blue to try to double the price for an item, but why add red piping to a $65 tunic to make it a $70 tunic that eople still won't buy; just is not logical even to the fakers mind.

We should chip in and buy the damn thing just to inspect it.

When you think piping you think high quality piping. But without a better photo this could be a poor job just to improve sale. If someone will buy... well that is hard to say when "improve" your tunic. But the "rare" stuff always finds a buyer on E-bay, you just have to leave it there long enough.

Maybe I should "improve" my navy tunic just to see if it looks the same :D

Perhaps we should leave this tunic now.... Don't think we will get any closer without buying it and I wouldn't wish that ugly tunic on any collection.

I´ll try to put something too: These colonel shoulder boards have silver stars. As I was told and seen, they´re golden. However, my Zhukov has silver ones, just like that one, so...
