Nice display!

Thanks and yes the objects are nice only... I wish I know more about the objects.
It is possible that all objects (accept the merchant navy belt) came from the cruiser “Kerch”. Maybe one of the sailors that I met served on it.

Re: Soviet Black Sea fleet objects
Well being white, they are summer uniforms. The shoulder board you show is a "fantasy" board, as the branch insignia is for Motorized Rifles of the Army, and has nothing to do with the Navy, at least nothing that I am aware of. The board itself is for a senior officer, as it has the two stripes, but it has no actual rank displayed.
Not being all that familiar with Navy, I can't really tell you much more, but the tally's on the enlisted cover seem to be more ceremonial, than actual service, as the ribbon is the same ribbon as used on the Victory over Germany medal, but the Cockade is an Army officers cockade.
In your picture #3, you show both Army, and Naval Admirals buttons. My guess is, this is stuff that they got at a warehouse, since the SU was crumbling, and they palmed it off on you. That is not to say it isn't really cool stuff, it just seems to be a conglomeration of various military, and Merchant Marine items.

Re: Soviet Black Sea fleet objects
The tunic with those stars and stripes is a complete put together. Wrong boards, wrong insignia. The stripes are for a black tunic and the golden stars on the other sleeve are for a NCO tunic. You should have those removed and the shoulder boards replaced with correct ones.
