M 1954 Mundir Dress Tunic of an Infantry Major General, mid-1950s.

Double-breasted, in very heavy napped wave-blue wool virtually identical to that used on the M 45 "Victory Parade" uniforms. Beautiful gold embroidery on the cuffs and collar, and red piping. The shoulder boards are in gold brocade, with silver bullion stars. The buttons are of very high quality, made of gilded brass and showing the national emblem of the USSR. Note that the state emblem is with 16 scrolls representing the number of republics in the Soviet Union, the type used only until 1955.

Extra Large size; the chest measures approximately 44", the sleeves (from cuff to

Double-breasted, in very heavy napped wave-blue wool virtually identical to that used on the M 45 "Victory Parade" uniforms. Beautiful gold embroidery on the cuffs and collar, and red piping. The shoulder boards are in gold brocade, with silver bullion stars. The buttons are of very high quality, made of gilded brass and showing the national emblem of the USSR. Note that the state emblem is with 16 scrolls representing the number of republics in the Soviet Union, the type used only until 1955.

Extra Large size; the chest measures approximately 44", the sleeves (from cuff to shoulder seam) measure 24" and the length from top of collar to bottom hem is 30".

The tunic is in excellent condition, completely free of the usual moth damage, even the slightest nips or tracks. There are no significant stains, visible snags or soiling to the wool exterior; there is just a single tiny, pin-prick sized repair near the lowest button on the right side which is noticeable only at very close inspection and not detractive. The embridery along the collar has some loose strands on the back, which is not visible from the front and probably easy enough to repair if desired. The liner is sound and although showing evidence of wear, free of tears or soiling. A very well-preserved and uncommon early piece!

Please note: the shirt, tie, and full-dress brocade belt shown in our photos are not included with the tunic.
