Re: NKVD Lt Col - Absolutely Choice Tunic
Shalito shows both blue/blue for double breasted AND single breasted and cites them both as m43's but the focus of that book is just up to victory parade time. Interesting to see that may have had transition in colors after the birth of mgb in 1946 until it got sucked back into the KGB in 1953 (in time for m55 kgb which are all blue again).
Just for fun: a double breasted frontier major: green and green all the way |

Nice thing Jeff. I have always preferred bullion. However, for the time being, stamped metal must suffice for me... Last edited by CtahhR; 07-04-2014 at 03:50 AM. |

Re: NKVD Lt Col - Absolutely Choice Tunic
Frontier signals? That's cool. Going back to the mgb/nkvd parade uniform: Can you think of other apparently "mismatched" piping/epaulet/collar tab combos that actually make proper sense? I would have thought the LtCol's tunic at the beginning of the post a "franken-uniform" because I would have forgotten about the MGB period. Still learning...lots.

NKVD Lt Col - Absolutely Choice Tunic
Gents,
As we know, there was a double-breasted version in wear at the June 24th, 1945 Victory Parade. Regards, slava1stclass |

Re: NKVD Lt Col - Absolutely Choice Tunic
Introduced in February 1943 insignia for internal troops and state security was identical in shape and color. When state security was moved to separate commissariat (NKGB) few changes were made for internal troops. In summer of 1943 color of collar tabs on double breasted internal troop’s tunics was changed from dark blue to crimson red. These guys already have they collar tabs of the same color as bands on they visor hats.

Re: NKVD Lt Col - Absolutely Choice Tunic
Sleeve cuffs on NKVD’s troops tunics were changed to be straight.
Color in the center was also changed from dark blue to crimson red. And cuff’s spools were short (35 х 35 мм) and embroidered directly to the cuff. |
