4 pairs of high ranking soviet shoulder boards.
I have doubts on the ray threads out of the star on the naval marshal pair. Also sickle and hammer seems too thin.
Any thoughts on these?
BTW, they were sold for 200 euro

Lot of things that don't look right here starting with the basic quality of the embroidery. Particularly the "gerb" or soviet crest on marshal boards usually is quite beautiful in it's detail with crisp individual republic ribbons and a more 3-D world globe. Check elsewhere on the site (search "marshal epaulets" or "marshal shoulder board") for pictures of the real deal. It will also illustrate how painfully flat these stars are. You didn't miss anything by not getting these, especially at that price.

I concur, they are bad.
