Russian pattern officers's tunic is okay for wear in country I guess, but the orange-black cockade on the cap band is way too close to saying "I am in the service of Imperial Russia."

I've got the WWII Occupation medal, and I was born in 1959. Because the medal's life was extended as the Berlin occupation medal until the end of the cold war.

Just want to second Old Smelly in the opinion that the second photo is not of a soldier but of an actor or model in costume. Forget the New Zealand connection. Besides, the hat looks like US Army.
