What did I get in my latest Cold War Romanian uniform parcel?

I hope that everyone enjoys a sightly quicker upload than usual this week. This style of shorter video which covers some of my collection is a lot easier to shoot and upload though I am looking to do more in-depth videos going over, for example, the Romanian revolution in the near future.
I am not a complete expert on Romanian uniforms and so I will make errors which I am more than happy for you to correct in the comments. Please note that the ranks given are not perfect translations and each will be slightly different to that of the English version.

I really like that you make videos more often

Wow! That vânători de munte beret is very rare, and super nice of course. And the fact that the cockade has the coloured backing is even rarer. It was something extra that not everybody wanted. This coloured backing may be seen used with some insignia too. For example, if you were to put a military academy insignia on the jacket I commented on earlier, you could add such an element to it.

The raincoat is a really nice find too! This type of shoulder boards (for raincoat ) are rare as they are, let alone with the border guards' pipping. And it's just a nice touch that you have everything that comes with the coat: belt and hood; as these are detachable and did indeed get lost many times.

It would be neat if you could get your hand on a navy officer uniform.

Regarding the general's uniform, the trousers, I find them interesting. Usually, the two thicker lines of pipping would have had the original thin red pipping in the middle. If I were to guess, this may be an earlier issue. And, of course, nothing is capable of beating that beautiful golden embroidery that the visor hat and the rank elements the jacket presents.

You may notice that the intendență visor hat presents 2 holes above the cockade. This is a sign that after the revolution, it was still used with the communist cockade but a golden eagle with a plain Romanian flag on its chest was added. This may be seen on many post revolution visor hats, as the new non-communist pieces ( uniforms, insignia and so on ) took time to reach every unit.
