Hi Doug, Vikingraider and others; I would like to know a detail about the common general service unfiorms.
I've got 2 of these, with slight variations. The first one has been worn, with buttons of 1981, classic brown tobbaco cloth, a little ribbon bar with service homleand 3, classic traces of wear. The inside silk clothing has a colour next to light brown havana...
The second tunic comes from Ukraine, by a good and reliable friend, it is brand new, no traces of wear, certainly unissued. Identical to the first described, all buttons of 1982, tag of voientorg (the big "M" with a little star), sewings, cloth, embrodery... The inside silk clothing is this time light green.
My doubts started when I discovered this US firm using national arms of Ukraine, which sells ukranians repros of all kinds...so could you tell me the risk my second tunic is a recent repro and not a soviet unissued? or I simply have a 1980' variation?
thanks by advance! sebastien
