Are these OK? :confused: The piping looks way too thick.

The picture could be better, but they could be dembel boards.

I would agree that those can be post-1956 dembel boards. They are not pre-56 (m43), as the emblems are at the upper end of the board, not lower, also the emblems are of a later type. m56 unlike m43 should not have any piping.
If this are indeed dembel boards, I would guess that they weren't originally on this gimnasterka - demobilised conscripts most often used their parade jacket as a dembel uniform.
Other possibility is that it's poorly made theater prop, made of what was available.

Thanks for your useful opinions. I was planning to buy this gymnasterka. I shall pass on this one then.
Regards :thumbsup
