Tuvan Army Insignia 1935-44.

[John Gosling]

Hello,

i've recently found the following link which shows a Tuvan officers collar

rank insigia ,when the Tuvan Peoples Revolutionary Army was still a

separate military force , before it became part of the Red Army.

As you can see the Tuvans had their own design.

Anyone know what rank insignia was used by officers and n c o's pre 1941 ?

or what colour the collar patches were ?
