TS Allen Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Hello all, I have a light blue Russian uniform that I acquired in a trade some time ago, a photo is attached and I can provide more. The previous owner (whose name now escapes me--a very nice fellow from Missouri) had several Imperial Russian items, and the other I acquired in the same trade, a very nice pre-1907 piece that is a jewel of my Russo-Japanese War display, has since been confirmed to as authentic by various knowledgeable folks. I believe he may have originally acquired this uniform from Advance Guard Militia. The attached uniform remains something of a mystery to me. Its construction strikes me as consistent with other items from the period, although it's made from an unusual light blue wool flannel. It has a 1917 "tailor's stamp" which strikes me as a later addition to spruce the piece up, as it's very fresh. What can you fine folks tell me about it? Some day I'd like to build a display around it if it is a period piece. Best,T.S. Edited April 16, 2015 by TacHel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
