For the old cloth guys - Jeffrey Meffert - 06-24-2008
M24 armor tunic of a platoon leader from the late 20's/early 30's with "combined armor" device on the collars. Both coat and helmet are French made as I'm given to understand that the soviet army didn't have their own helmets and gear until after 1935. There are soviet stamps in the coat inside and russian dirt in the pockets. Well, somebody's dirt in the pockets.
(Yes, I know pants are from the 80's and the boots are east german but that will have to do.)

Maybe its the fact its 2am here, but looks like a great set! Love that collar insignia! Should have kept it for Armour.

I found some free wireless and am just checking back in. Great looking tunic Jeff. Very nice setup even with the modern additions. The display looks nice. Clete

Here's some more old cloth (though not as old as the tanker set) that I drug out and displayed at a show here in Buckeye country. The pic isn't the greatest, as the lighting was not all that bright.

Nice stuff, especially what looks like a generals field m43. What are the collar tabs on the white tunic on the far left?

Thanks :) The event was the Great Lakes Militaria Collectors show in Toledo, Ohio last weekend -- the annual display show. Took first place actually :thumbsup
The white uniform has judiciary branch of service devices -- the jacket is attributed to Gen. Petr Ankudinov, who had an interesting career:

1941 Military Prosecutor Southern Front
Military Prosecutor South-western Front
Military Prosecutor 3rd Ukranian Front
Military Prosecutor Soviet Southern Group of Forces
