Admirals embroidery
How about this admiral? The embroidery looks very "thin", compared to other I have seen. Is it a older model or is it fake?

collar
doubt its fake...there were variations here and there with the huge numbers of generals and admirals uniforms made. However, I'd think it was unissued due to lack of boards.

Tretov & Doug,
It's interesting to note that the seller did not attach the boards to make it look like an issued and worn example. Rusty.

Thanks for your replies.
Additionally, seller claims the board were removed so that they would not be damaged in shipping. Only problem is that the boards are for vice-admiral and the sleeve rank is 'admiral flota' (fat stripe + 3 normal stripes + 1 thin stripe) |
