ENGINEERING Extremely rare M/1955 service uniform of a highly-decorated major-general of the engineering branch. Please notice, that the uniform has piping which is purple-pink raspberry coloured, not the bright red which is usually seen on generals service uniforms. Also, the embroidered collar leaves are made in a more advanced way than on the later M/69 uniforms.
The ribbon bar tells about a career of excellent skills. Three times recipient of the Order of Lenin and the Order of Badge of Honour, participation in both the defense of Stalingrad and Caucasus, the fighting against Japan and a long post-war career including awards also from other socialist countries!
The set is in excellent condition; the size of the uniform is 54, which in U.S. sizes equals 44.
Awards in the ribbon bar:
Three times Order of Lenin, Order for Service to Motherland III class, three times Order of Badge of Honour, Medal for 100th anniversary of birth of V.I.U Lenin, Medals for Defense of Stalingrad and Caucasus, Medal for Victory over Germany, Victory anniversary medals of 1965 and 1975, Medal for victory over Japan, Medal for Veteran Serviceman, Armed forces anniversary medals of 1948, 1958, 1968 and 1978, medal for 20 years of irreproachable service and several foreign awards.
