Under the banner of Marxism-Leninism, under the leadership of the Communist Party--forward to new victories in the construction of communism!
Very interesting item. I saw it Friday and almost went for it as I am fist and foremost an NKVD uniform collector. I would love to see inside.
However, I expect from the title that it is of little use to me. It appears to cover only work clothes for workers in NKVD construction units - quite likely prisoners. Gievn the term "normy" or norms for uniforms and the fact that this stuff was mostly made by the unit I think it is likely instructions for making work uniforms.
I have seen a photocopied version of the M1943 NKVD uniform regulations. The owner, not a forum member, promised me a copy when I saw it and then renegged - failed sharing in kindergarten I guess.
If anyone knows of it or has a copy please let me know.
I have one photocopied page from that guide, about the M1943 parade cap for generals. I was never able to get a full copy, but would like to. Dou you know the actual name of the guide? I can ask my guys to get it; they are pretty good about it.
