Guest Rick Research Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Doppelg?nger of my Hollywood producer 1st cousin ... when he was about 13!!!Undated, but stamped by the Air Force Academy for "5th year student Engineer Military Technician 2nd Rank" (!) A. V. Borzunov.M1935 tunic... aside from the STARTLING Anglo-Irish family resemblance.... ???Closer...CLOSER...I can't do anything better with the contrast from the original, but there are snowy mountain peaks under a mountaineering pick, with two rows of letters underneath. Looks like the final line may be some sort of abbreviation ending in "D."First time I've ever seen a mountain climbing pin on a pre-war Soviet uniform-- let alone being worn by an AIR FORCE technical officer!
