My collection in Kyrgyzstan
Hi guys !
I am Japanese who is working Bishkek Kyrgyzstan. Now I am living 2years at here. Of course, Kyrgyzstan is part of the former Soviet Union. Thus, I can easily obtain uniform of the Soviet Union in Kyrgyzstan. But,Collector markets is not developed like a Russia etc. So, I 'm buying the collection Bazaar and newspaper ads, Voentorg etc.... My current problem is how to take collections to home at japan. |

Re: My collection in Kyrgyzstan
Those are some very nice sets, great finds! Have you checked the export regulations for bringing out "cultural value"? I do not know what regulations Kyrgyzstan have in regard to Soviet items, if like Russia or more relaxed like the Baltic states? Hopefully some of our great forum members can help :)

Re: My collection in Kyrgyzstan
Get a Visa, Drive them over the border to China whilst with all the items. If any Kyrgyz customs have a problem throw money at them and then find the first post office in China and post it home. Looks like a bit much to hide in a suitcase or hand luggage. Buying in bulk is always a logistical nightmare. I once flew somewhere without even a bag but on my return I had 4 suitcases full and I still had to leave some things behind.

Re: My collection in Kyrgyzstan
Thank you for your comments.
I am talking to a Japanese air cargo company in Almaty at now. More over, After returning to Japan, I can not buy easily uniforms and medals. This is very disappointing. Next, I will looking for the post at Uzubekusutan or Tajikistan. |

Re: My collection in Kyrgyzstan
When you return to Japan, if you go to Osaka you can find militaria at a store located at Shinsaibashi. It was one of my favorite places when I was there back in the days and got some very nice stuff.

Re: My collection in Kyrgyzstan
When you visit Osaka ? I am from kobe, near by osaka.
I think you mentioned about "mash" "S and Graf " "Garactaer"etc. yes, I can get nice staff at the those shops. but, problem is price of the uniforms... for example, i' ve gat a my general uniform by only 30$ at the second hand clothing shop in bishikek. |
