Republic of Cuba FAR Primer Teniente - late 70's

[Riker87]

I bought this jacket last week in Cuba. It's from the mid - late 70's (the time when Cuba introduced the new soviet rank insignia's system). The cut is extensive the same like uniform jackets from the 60's (look my jacket of 1965). Only a few changes. For example this jacket has no stripes on sleeves and the pockets have no press buttons. The epaulettes are sewed.

What a stellar jacket! Nice find you have there!

Thanks Paul. I've got many other items, which I found in my Cuba vacations this year. ;-)
