RichieC Posted April 4, 2008 Author Posted April 4, 2008 Mister meffert,If you have the cap that goes with this set, it would be certainly interesting to see some shots of it... Perhaps the trousers also? Also, can and kindly will you show a few images of the inside of the Kitel, and perhaps an image of the underside of the shoulderboards also?I just simply adore VOSO stuff! Choo-choo!
meffert Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Inside of which kitel and underside of which boards? I have a cap for the lieutenant which I'll dig out on the weekend. I wish I had a cap for the director but I do have his pants, nothing for the other kitel regretfully.
RichieC Posted April 4, 2008 Author Posted April 4, 2008 Inside of which kitel and underside of which boards?The lieutenant - Railway Station Commandant - VOSO / BOCO. Kindly forgive me for the confusion - The tunic with the black velvet collar...
meffert Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Nothing special about it. Boards are tied in with period strings that I wouldn't be able to retie so hopefully this will do.
RichieC Posted April 4, 2008 Author Posted April 4, 2008 Nothing special about it. Boards are tied in with period strings that I wouldn't be able to retie so hopefully this will do.Above and beyond... Looking forward to seeing the cap.
ekclete Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Jeff your collection never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for sharing. Clete
meffert Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 "Looking forward to seeing the cap. "As requested...as well as in place on Yuri in our foyer. (I change out Yuri every couple of weeks. Wife says I'm playing with my dolls...cute.). For the purists, yes I know the M37 armband was superseded by the m43 tunic but I'm told the armband was occasionally still worn to denote the current station commander. Besides, it's beautiful and I want to see it several times a day as I walk past it.
Paul R Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 The set is beyond stunning!! It never ceases to amaze me, the things that are out there.

Ed_Haynes Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 An orphaned document (no badge, help?) for a metro badge of some sort.Help?Outside.
Guest Rick Research Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Honor Badge for the completion of the 1st section of the Kiev Metro, issued by the city's Labor Soviet.Typical Sovspeak balther which basically says nothing: establishment of badge by them/award of badge by the/wear it with honor etc. Nothing that says WHO got it or WHY. 3) is which side it was to be worn on, but the grammar eludes me from my primitive Ukrainian-to-English and not vice versa dictionary.Never seen this before, and most of my Soviet items came from Kiev, so possibly quite limited distribution. :rolleyes:
Lapa Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 ...Nothing that says WHO got it or WHY...Rick,It actually says that it was awarded to Andreev, Vassil Ivanovich Marc
Ed_Haynes Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Rick,It actually says that it was awarded to Andreev, Vassil Ivanovich MarcYes, Marc. And thanks.But I think Rick's point was that it didn't say in what capacity he received the badge.
Guest Rick Research Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Right. That's what I meant. Just the name, not title, no indication of "who" he was in relation to the subway building. A consultant? A civilian construction supervisor? Just a retired neighborhood guy who had ro put up with the noise? No clue. If it hadn't come IN Ed's group, we'd have no idea who Comrade Andreev had EVER been.It has always struck me as very very odd-- dumb even-- that Soviet Orders Books, for instance, have absolutely NOTHING but the recipient's NAMES. No date and place of birth. NOTHING. At least the most basic of all personal data-- birth date and place, would never have changed, would always have been valid-- and would have immediately distinguished between a 60 year old and a 20 year old.It always surprises me-- having started collecting German paperwork-- how LITTLE is revealed by Soviet paperwork like this.The award booklet itself does not state whether it was given for WORK on the subway-- or just for standing there through the opening of service speeches. Agggh.
