Gordon Craig Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Great uniforms guys. Now I need a source for Mongolian uniforms!Ed,Your great coat has many similarities to Hungarian great coats. Possibly of the same period. Especially the back where the short belt is.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Not a very good picture of a cavalry major's tunic. From the Dornogobi Aimag museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Things have been rather (= VERY) quiet outside the German sub-fora, so let me try (again) to get some interest going elsewhere. I hope someone bothers to look.A major general. Too large for the mannequin, sorry. Also have the pants.His sewn-on ribbon bar has been shown at http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15730&st=126 and older patches found in the pocket at http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=24432&st=25 and I still look around for other hidden wonders or tags.

Ed_Haynes Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 And the right chest. There were clearly other (several) badges that have been worn here and I must question the originality of the Soviet badge (ЛВВПУ = ???). Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seb16trs Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 this is a great jacket. Is this exactly the same cloth as soviet walk-out generals? the shoulderboards seem to be soviet ones with embroidery, it could be is an interesting point.are there leaves around the visor cap cockade or are they reserved to the parade uniform?

Ed_Haynes Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the interest! this is a great jacket. Is this exactly the same cloth as soviet walk-out generals?Sorry, I don't know. My interests (and holdings) in Soviet uniforms die out pretty quickly after 1942.the shoulderboards seem to be soviet ones with embroidery, it could be is an interesting point.They are of the distinctive Mongolian design.are there leaves around the visor cap cockade or are they reserved to the parade uniform?Nothing on this one. Let me check pictures to try to answer this, but few folks in photos wear hats.Let me know if close-ups of anything are desired.

seb16trs Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 you're welcome Ed, the field of mongolian uniforms is not documented and we must rely on empiric collections. I have the feeling that shoulderboards have the same "zigzag" metallic thread basis than soviet ones. Then they added the "greek" scheme embroidery.There are great chances they were produced in soviet workshops. Not any tailor marks inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Ed,That is an amazing uniform. I envy you these Mongolian uniforms. Your posts are all we have for reference and thanks for doing them.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
