Hi Trevor, these are post war, 1970's era, Soviet Army Officers shoulder boards for use on the Greatcoat. Rank is Lt.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks, Ade. Do you know if these hold any value, or if they are just more Soviet surplus?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Trevor, value will be pretty low, under $10.

Cheers, Ade.

Oh, no... I paid 12.00 USD for these. I guess that dealer can feel happy with ripping-off 13 yr. olds then.

Ade, and Trevor;

No, the rank is Podpolkovnik, or Lt. Col. (Note: the double red stripes, for a senior Officer, not the single red stripe for a junior Officer)

You are of course correct For some unknown reason I missed off the "Col" bit.

Cheers, Ade.
