Soviet A Nameless Commissar

[Guest Rick Research]

This exceptionally fine undated private portrait of an artillery unit Politruk (Commissar Senior Lieutenant) probably dates from the mid 1930s from the covered buttons front flap on his salt-and-pepper light shade gimnastyorka:

A command officer would have had gilt braid edging on his rank tabs, which also identifies this somber fellow as a political commissar.

There is a tiny faded private photogapher's stamp on back which no amount of what I can do with my technology will make give up its location.
