I was speakeing of the modern, put together uniforms that show up on e-bay in bulk (like this one) that can be and are usually messed with. My comment was not saying that all E items are fake, but as I stated, you need to know what you are looking at and do not buy the write up of the seller.
However, i would agree that nice items can show up on E but it is very rare and you need to know what you are looking for. Also, there are far too many 'nice' items on E that are outright fakes (and tend to be sold by 1 or 2 well known 'dealers').

Very funny Jeff. :dissapoint
The flash turned the red into purple, not blue. I asked the seller he said its the flash. This should be genuine except the collar tabs. According to him, "late period soviet armor collar tabs were red with tank on them" (not exact words, rough translation) Not sure if this was true?:confused:
It just looked interesting. I would never pay 850 RMB for a uniform I doubted was authentic plus 100 RMB shipping. The guy said it was a formal uniform? I think he meant mess uniform. Did soviet union have mess uniform?
