Yes, it is a rare combination.

On a photo Khmelnitskiy 1 and 2 classes.

Wonderful set of photos. As a cloth collector, it's good to verify that orders were worn all types of uniforms and in many different ways (including showing how one might mix unconverted Pre-43 orders with newer ones)

Colonel Jakovlevich's epaulets look like they once held corps devices (artillery, armor, etc.). What would be the reasons to remove your devices? Transfer to a different corps? Medical retirement?

Nice plastic ribbons!

Nice plastic ribbons!

Nice catch Bryan, I didn't notice that until you mentioned it. It's rare to see them in wear.

Some nice foreign awards as well on other photos. I saw one guy with a Legion d'Honour and a Croix du Geurre.

Great photos! Thank's for sharing Roman

That is the biggest plastic ribbon parade mount I've ever seen. Did you notice, though, that one of his orders fell off. Hard to tell with glare but probably combat merit.
