Greatcoat-Tag
Hello,
I haven't written anything for a while. I was wondering if someone could help with the abbreviation MSR at the top of this tag? It's attached to a greatcoat. What does it mean? I'll put pictures of the coat on later. Thanks! |

Re: Greatcoat-Tag
Is there other insignia on the coat itself?

Re: Greatcoat-Tag
In case you were unaware, this is not an official factory tag, but a unit-level addition, required so a soldier could determine his own issue.

Re: Greatcoat-Tag
Thanks for the information. Here's the coat. There isn't any other insignia on it. I'm going to wash it though since it's pretty dirty.

Re: Greatcoat-Tag
Do you remember all of the feedback you got when you mentioned cleaning a uniform here: http://www.soviet-awards.com/forum/s...g-uniform.html ?
I've never seen a Soviet greatcoat without brass buttons before. I'm sure they existed for the field, especially by the time Afghanistan rolled around, but I have never personally seen one. Would you mind posting a few more shots of the collar, shoulders and the buttons?:) Phillip

Re: Greatcoat-Tag
Actually the coat is just missing the buttons. I remember the feedback and I know it's best not to clean a uniform but sometimes it must be done. You wouldn't want this coat until it's cleaner.

Re: Greatcoat-Tag
No buttons missing here, it fastens with metal hooks.
