Laurence Strong Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 (edited) I have a pair of white ones just like yours. They are for wear with a white shirt and the gold strip signifies Sgt Maj. http://www.sovietarmy.com/ Edited June 13, 2005 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The rounded red piped ones are M1969+ civil police ("Militia"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) Hello Gerd,military shoulder boards from army personal from 1943 to 1948 are five sided. (Post 7) After 1948 the army switched to the trapeze style (six-sided military shoulder boards). (Post 3) Navy personal shoulder boards and general officer shoulder boards from 1943 - 1948 are six-sided.After 1948 all the military shoulder boards are six-sided.regardsAndreas Edited July 6, 2005 by Alfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hello Gerd,I think your last shoulder board are not soviet ones. The last pair looks chinese, but not sure.There are two good web sites, about soviet uniforms and shoulder boards.One about civil uniforms and shoulder boards (miner, civil shipping, transport ..)anone about military uniforms. I try to find them .......best regardsAndreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Are those SILKY boards in post #7, not metallic?First pair for Junior Lieutenants to Captains of Armor or ArtillerySecond pair same ranks for Infantry, both M1943Can you scan the button in #9 first pair closer? Those look German something, with Soviet style stars.The last pair is Red Chinese, marked 1986. I don't know if the star belongs on theire, but the character is used for People's Liberation Army.

Gerd Becker Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Thanks, guys. Rick, i am not sure, but i think, one pair is silky and one pair is metallic. I have added some closeups.Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 The "German" style board is still a mystery to me. The button's crossed Moisin-Nagant rifles suggests Russian, and perhaps some version of VOKhR ("BOXP") internal guards for everything from Gulag camps to public buildings. The wreath they are in makes me think this is related to some sort of shooting/hunting organization.I can read Russian, but my computer cannot.
