What do you think about this DoS doc?
IMO I like it because of the lack of obvious fake wear, like on Bill's examples above,, it's obvious real wear; probably completely ripped into four sections and then taped back together with that distinctive white Soviet tape, a nicely faded unit stamp and the seller's other item's that do NOT raise red flags.
What makes me question it is the unfaded ink compared to the unit stamp, and the ink color itself; black versus the usual blueish color.
Would the '44 date have anything to do with the ink type/color?
Speaking of which; a thread on Soviet document ink &/or entries would be an interesting read. :cool:
Thanks, mates! :thumbsup
