Can anyone help in identifying the uniform worn on the photo below? I think it dates back to mid 1930s to early 1940s. The insignia looks like a Soviet saper/miner troops one.

A civil administration uniform: the collar looks railways, but the star seems more in the style of the postal service.

In any case, this man is NKPS. Soviet State Railways is part of such.

Nice image.

If NKPS, it's 6th category (3 levels of 4 ranks + people commissar and lower rank) but the NKPS collar znak is 6-sided, not 5-sided (from what I know...). May be a fireman.

Guys,

Does the hat badge look Soviet to you? To me, it doesn't.
