Original Cold War Era Soviet Union Air Force (VVS) General-Lieutenant Uniform Jacket

Up for auction is a genuine piece of Soviet military history: a high-ranking General-Lieutenant's daily service jacket. This particular blue variant was issued to the elite commanding staff of the Soviet Air Force (VVS) or Airborne Forces (VDV) during the late USSR period.

Exquisite Details & Features:

• Shoulder Boards: Authentic General-rank boards with a distinct "zigzag" golden weave. Each board features two hand-embroidered stars made with genuine gold bullion wire (canetille).

• Buttons: All original brass buttons featuring the Soviet State Emblem (Hammer and Sickle).

• Ribbon Bar: A comprehensive set of award ribbons indicating decades of distinguished service in the Soviet Armed Forces.

• Fabric: High-quality heavy-duty wool/gabardine blend in the iconic "Deep Air Force Blue."

• Construction: Classic "short-cut" daily tunic design with an elasticated waistband and buttoned cuffs, typical for the 1970s-80s military fashion.

Provenance & Condition: This jacket is in excellent vintage condition, showing only minor signs of age consistent with careful storage. All insignia and ribbons are firmly attached and period-correct. This is not a modern reproduction, but a true collector's item reflecting the prestige of the Soviet military elite.
