Soviet Made Korean People's Army Uniform.

Does anyone have any pictures of North Korean Peoples Army soldiers wearing Soviet uniforms during the Korea War?

Thanks,

The Korean People's Army wore Korean People's Army uniforms during the war. In fact a Soviet "advisor" would have KPA insignia on their MIG for example rather than the other way around.

Korean uniforms have been produced in the Soviet Union, China and the DPRK. The more modern DPRK ones are rather "plasticy" but they all will have been the KPA cut with KPA insignia.

The reason I ask is this uniform was captured in North Korea during the Korean War by a UNPFK advisor and brought back.

Looks like a contemporary KPA uniform. The Soviets occupied North Korea for 3 years after defeating Japan so no doubt their "overstock" was used by the young KPA.

A nice condition piece. Is it a tiny size? The KPA and KPN uniforms I have are what we would call "Child's size" in the west.

Here's some pictures of the pants.
