Paul R Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 It seems that this particular tunic saw service in a Russian film studio! I bought this awesome piece from Peter W at the Collector's Guild back in 2003. This piece is definately well worn and a veteran. All insignia is original to the tunic.
Ed_Haynes Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Interesting - would be good to figure put which films it appeared in!

Guest Rick Research Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Well, THAT is interesting. This was not a MosFilm costume.The stamp best seen in post #3 above states"From the private collection ofOleg Borisovich Alekseev"!!!!

I did not think that these collections were allowed during the "Soviet" regime. Who knows... he could be forum member!What does the other stamp say?

Albert Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Wow Prosper. A Russian Aluminum executive! It well could be!! It looks like a night of internet searches!Thank you very much!In the early 90ies, while doing a semester abroad in Russia, I met a St. Petersburg collector/dealer by this name. He had contacts to museums and more so to film studios. He had a great collection/stock and was selling a lot of stuff. Most likely that would be him.

I am actually really happy with this addition to the uniform. It kinda adds a little bit of history to it!Paul
