Nack, GREAT to see you over here my friend!!! WELCOME!!! The stripes on enlisted pogons are different and wrap around the pogon. I'm not sure if they are glued or stiched as the only enlisted set I have are velvet covered dembel. Doc

Simon, I would assume so as I know who they came from. The shoulderboards are slightly dembeled. They added the mettalic letters. Best, Doc

Andreas, In my opinion and based on evidence in the PMD it is a fake. The medal should have a round ring made as part of the medal, NOT U-shaped. Doc

Order of Victory, Those are GREAT examples!!! Congratulations!!! Doc

Thanks for the FANTASTIC pics of these caps!!! Are they more expensive than other caps? Doc

Does anyone have a picture of the Order of African Redemption? Doc

Dan, A most interesting website, to be sure !!! Thanks for sharing it. I never considered the artistic variances. Doc

Guys, Thanks for the identification!!! Doc

Guys, They are Green. So...KGB Frontier troops? Doc

I received these shoulderboards, collar tabs, etc. as a gift from a friend. I don't have access to my branch insignia book. Would someone please help me identify the branch. Many Thanks!!! Doc

Ed, WOW!!! Fantastic group!!! I love the Polar Stars I need to add one to my small Mongol collection. Doc

GUYS, I am even more determined to add the Knights cross of the War Merit Cross!!! To me it's one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL TR pieces!!! Many Thanks, Doc

Pete, He's definately getting the better part of the deal. Those OPW's don't add up to $200. Like Richie and Dave said ...All 1985's...no deal. Doc

Gordon. That's BEAUTIFUL That is the one TR piece I am determined to add to my collection. I saw one, with a shorter piece of ribbon, at a gun show. He wanted $2500 for it but had it in a frame so I couldn't get a hands on look at it. I'll just keep looking. Again, A very nice piece. You are Very Lucky!!! Doc

Leigh, GREAT pictures!!! I have saved them to the British file on my computer. Thanks for posting them!!! Doc

Tang Si, Thank You for correcting the rank!!! I am very happy with my Major's uniform!!! Doc

I guess I over did it on this one. I've had this group plus three more Orders and two more medals. I just didn't have a kitel to put them on. I can tone it down some. I used that picture as a general guide. Lesson learned. Thanks Ed!! Doc

Ed, I've seen a DPRK Lieutenant's Uniform with Orders 3 across and five deep and most of the right side covered in medals. See the attached picture. Doc

Belaruski, WOW!!! I'm droolin' all over my computer.!!! Those are very nice Doc

Belaruski, Thank You!! All buttons are there...I just forgot one. Doc

Order of Victory, Unfortunately no. However they go nicely with my 1st-3rd Class of the Order of Maternal glory. Also no docs. Mother heroine with documents some day in the near future, I hope?!! Doc
