A beautiful uniform. Great pictures too!

[Ed_Haynes]

A nice colonel general's uniform.

Guard at parliament, May 2008.

Great uniforms guys. Now I need a source for Mongolian uniforms!

Ed,

Your great coat has many similarities to Hungarian great coats. Possibly of the same period. Especially the back where the short belt is.

Regards,

Gordon

Not a very good picture of a cavalry major's tunic. From the Dornogobi Aimag museum.

Things have been rather (= VERY) quiet outside the German sub-fora, so let me try (again) to get some interest going elsewhere. I hope someone bothers to look.

A major general. Too large for the mannequin, sorry. Also have the pants.

His sewn-on ribbon bar has been shown at http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15730&st=126 and older patches found in the pocket at http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=24432&st=25 and I still look around for other hidden wonders or tags.

Another view.

[Ed_Haynes]

Closeup.

[Ed_Haynes]

And cuffs.

[Ed_Haynes]

And the right chest. There were clearly other (several) badges that have been worn here and I must question the originality of the Soviet badge (ЛВВПУ = ???). Thoughts?

[Ferdinand]

ЛВВПУ is the Lvov Higher Military-Political School.

this is a great jacket. Is this exactly the same cloth as soviet walk-out generals?

the shoulderboards seem to be soviet ones with embroidery, it could be is an interesting point.

are there leaves around the visor cap cockade or are they reserved to the parade uniform?

Thanks for the interest!

Sorry, I don't know. My interests (and holdings) in Soviet uniforms die out pretty quickly after 1942.

They are of the distinctive Mongolian design.

Nothing on this one. Let me check pictures to try to answer this, but few folks in photos wear hats.

Let me know if close-ups of anything are desired.

you're welcome Ed, the field of mongolian uniforms is not documented and we must rely on empiric collections.

I have the feeling that shoulderboards have the same "zigzag" metallic thread basis than soviet ones. Then they added the "greek" scheme embroidery.

There are great chances they were produced in soviet workshops. Not any tailor marks inside?

[Gordon Craig]

Ed,

That is an amazing uniform. I envy you these Mongolian uniforms. Your posts are all we have for reference and thanks for doing them.

Gordon
