Its from a collection of a friend of mine; he recently sold the set to me and I sold it to another high end collector. Its a great set, and the owner had it medaled perfectly ( at least with copies) as well as Purkayev's full service record.

Great looking visor and who doesn't like something attributed. Whomever purchased it has great taste. Clete

It was a really nice set! I still get to visit it now and then. the hat had some damage ( look at the center of the bill) as it had been crushed on transport over. Its been restored pretty well. The tunic was perfect.

To all:

Yes, this particular tunic isn't bad at all. Personally, I don't care for the up-angle point of the tunic's front tip preferring instead the more horizontal tip variants for my personal collection.

For those who can't visit it in person - enjoy!

For the belt collectors among you.

When I collected I had about 20 VP generals /admirals and I had a love for the "sharp" breast point. This one is about the most angled I had seen though. We replaced the belt with the M1943 silver type (back then you could still get them!).

People should get to see the uniform more as I have it lined up for V2 of the generals book.

Slava, how about some pics of your VPs? : ) I would post mine, but I only have one left ( my first, just a Major General of Rifles, but I love it still).
