Very nice! I love the black one, would really want one for my collection!

Very nice uniforms, I guess not much has changed recently from the uniform itself aside from that eagle?

Commissar,

The embroidery pattern on the cuffs has changed, in addition to smaller details here and there.

Two nice photos of a WWII Diplomat.

I'm surprised the general in the second picture could get away with such a "hitler-ish" moustasche.

Isn't that Voroshilov? I got a bust where he also has that Hitler-style mustache :D

To heavy and too tall I think to be Voroshilov...probably just a Lt.General with bad facial hair.

Unfortunately, that was a common style in Europe at the time. :(
But hey, when we look back at how we looked in the 1980s, people in the future will be dismayed.:laff

Well, Charlie Chaplin had one, I guess anybody can. ;)

I actually saw one of these for sale on E, I was sort of tempted to buy it simply because I was reading this thread and was mildly inspired.
But then I saw the price and it was a whopping 350 bucks, granted it is even in my size of 60 but thats still too bloody steep I say!

Lonny.
