    1. :cheers:

      So this brick red/maroon and blueberry blue combination of insignia was worn AT LEAST 1953-55.

      I cannot find ANY uniform information for this period for the MGB! :banger:

      Obviously it so.

      Seeing a condition of a coat it is possible to tell, that all this is made in a workshop. And most likely here from fiftieth years did not change

    2. Interesting bayonet.

      Looks like an svt40 blade welded to a mosin nagant mount. I suppose they used what they had.

      Yes it is possible to see two parts. The first the basis from a needle of a rifle of Mosin. Second -an edge from Tokarev's rifle.However an edge longer than at SVT-40. This edge is more than the edge of a bayonet SVT.This edge is more similar to an edge of a German carbine

    3. Good afternoon Rick,

      It is very a pity, but the cap concerns only military-air forces USSR.Today I shall make good photos of a years raincoat and tomorrow I shall show them.

      P.S.(Some people think I am a dummy, but that is not me wearing the capIt is a good joke. However the dummy not badly looks.)

    4. Sergey,

      I know that it might not have been correct. But: 1. I did not know wether they had a weapon or not.

      2. I was the only person around (alone and they were two trained soldiers) 3. it was a military area ( I had permission to be there but nobody knew that exept the CO) 4. I did not speak their language .

      I do not know wether you know the live of a normal soldier in GDR in 1989. Some very bad things happened.

      I still think that my reaction was correct in this case.

      I will try my best to post photographs. (I will ask my son to do it on the weekend because with computers I am an idiot)

      regards

      Frank

      Hi Frank,

      I do not condemn you. I wished to tell, that it is a dangerous act. However probably you were are right .
