Help with NKVD uniform
I just picked up what I believe is a NKVD boarderguards tunic. I am new to collecting uniforms so any help would be great.
Where would the stamp be? What is the proper way to store it? Any reference pics would be great. Thanks for looking!:thumbsup If you need more pics let me know. |

re: Help with NKVD uniform
I don't know much about storage, but it would be nice to see it on a mannequin!
Looks to be in good condition too. :) Very nice uniform. Check under the buttons, there may be a date there. :D |

re: Help with NKVD uniform
stamps could be in several places.
1. inside the tunic 2. under need the frond pocket flaps 3. on the underside of the boards let me know if you find any there ,, and get a picture of it. the back of the buttons normaly has a 2 digit date on them. |

Usually, on gymnasterka, the stamp is on the lower part, inside.

re: Help with NKVD uniform
To me, it has the signs of a tunic purchased from a certain "Auction" house on-line; "wound stripes", field board, etc. Each person has their own opinion: I am not sure that it is what the seller claimed it to be.

re: Help with NKVD uniform
Perhaps it´s not fake, but just a put-up set. Just as Doug, I also suspected when I saw the wound stripes.
BTW, I´ve never seen shoulderboards damage on the first two tips near their buttons. May this be a false "weathering" made by some inescrupulous dealer or just that I´ve never seen such ones?

Re: Help with NKVD uniform
By regulation, NKVD gymnasterka were supposed to have pleated patch pockets - but of course, the exception perhaps was the rule.
IMO that is... |

Re: Help with NKVD uniform
In regulations up until 1956 officers of NKVD/MVD/MGB were portrayed with external pockets, and on photographs they do the same.

Re: Help with NKVD uniform
Enlisted men were trying too, even not always supposed to.
