I have marshal and general uniforms with split ring fasteners for the buttons, most likely to find on the top two for just this purpose.

Just got huge lot of pictures and this one is interesting and was hoping it was real. I can read NKVD on the back and the picture is dated 1938 most of the time i stay away from NKVD stuff because of fakes but this picture just felt right. Any help or translation would be great, its hard for me to read free hand not that good at Russian yet :rolleyes: Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. I would wait for some input on the uniform. It looks right enough to me, but the NKVD uniforms are not my specialty (I know what they are supposed to look like in color so I'm just guessing. We need somebody like Doug or any of the cloth guys to have a look.
As for the handwriting, it is better (which makes it worse) than usual - if you know what I mean.;) The only part I could make out at a glance was that it says he served in the NKVD. I'll have another go at it tomorrow when I'm not so sleepy. Do you think you could crop the pictures to show the collar insignia and a tighter picture of the hat? I think that would help the other guys. Phillip

Seems to be a Officer Candidate of the NKVD interior troops, 1937.

Lapa Wrote:"In memory to my NKVD service comrade Diordeev Vassya from Skorokhodov Kolya. Shlisselburg 8.3.38" I've seen this construct in another translation from Russian to English: "in memory to my friend". Seen in English it implies someone is dead. Buuut... I take it that's NOT the case here, right? Meaning that "in memory" on the back of the picture is from someone alive to someone alive. Correct?
