Strange uniform with H&S buttons
What is this uniform?
According to the current owner it came from a collection of former KGB officer's son, true or not, it indeed came from the former SU. The problem is, that when I saw this buttons, my first thought was "not soviet". Also the uniform cut looks so. This was supposed to be diplomat/advisor tropical uniform, nut as I said - doesn't look soviet at all. The buttons look different from any former East Bloc buttons I have seen. Any thoughts? |

Re: Strange uniform with H&S buttons
On the other hand, foriegn "volunteers" and "advisors" have worn the uniforms of their host nation since before the Spanish Civil War. So ostensibly this could have belonged to the soviet serviceman while he was in ethiopia causing mischief there. Of course that requires a bit of faith in the base story....
