Because it was kept for parades and often stored unused, unissued examples like this one can still be found with their original brightness. It works well for uniform restoration, historical reenactment or display alongside other Soviet Army items, where the star-and-wreath buckle is the first thing the eye catches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67671443144853,"sku":"v1|406882118885|0","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/s-l1600_cba4df7a-0a7a-47b7-b937-b381b2c175e4.jpg?v=1791479401","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/nos-soviet-officer-parade-belt-gold-brocade-hammer-sickle-buckle","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
