I just recently picked this up. Now I want to complete it. Red Army Shoulder boards will be fine with it. But, I don't know what rank would be appropriate? Does the gold threat in the pouches and the gold trim at the sleeve have any significance? I also could not yet find out what the gold / silver chevron means. I consulted my reference books and the internet, but no success. I will also try to find a Russian uniform forum.
Any ideas? I it said that this one once came out of the George Peterson collection.
