This one is currently offered to me.

I know nothing on the older ones and I need advice.

Aren´t the M43 uniforms the ones with just a single line of buttons instead of two?

Tretov · 03-07-2005, 02:03 PM

Yes. I have written the wrong thing, I do of course mean M/45. Sorry.

Don´t worry. You made me doubt! ^__^U It´s a beauty, however, but the gold bullion work on the golden leaves of the neck look too shiny. Shouldn´t they be darker since the age?

Tretov,

Difficult to say, but I find the embroidery too "new" compared with the rest of the jacket, and the piping around the collar too. Might it be that VP General's jacket I saw in St Petersburg that was "under repair" at the time (collar and cuff-less to be precise)? :D
What is that stuff on the cocarde and some of the embroidery? It looks like it could be some type of artificial toning to me.

I know where the uniform originated; its a good set. Its an M1945 VP set though, not M1943.
