Brigade-Piron Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hello chaps, I thought I'd put some pictures up of my Infantry M43 Gymnastorika - apologies if you've already seen it elsewhere. Yes, it doesn't look much like your WW2 issue type (or any issue type for that matter), but I've shown it to some very eminent people in the field of Soviet Uniforms and they tend to agree that this is the emergency "Blokada" issue. The material is poor, the faux-pocket flaps have come off, the buttons are the bakelite type used to secure braces. More surprisingly, the cuffs are without buttons and have a V-shape turn up. The shoulder boards are dated 1945, but have at some point have been changed. BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have never seen anything like it, but I love the marked shoulder boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
