Now lets look at uniforms. Again, I will try to point out details using this pre-43 "NKVD Frontier Troops" uniform.
1. the repro, non aged buttons; made to look WWII, but of low quality.
2.the low quality colalr tabs with insignia that does not fit well, and is pin back; avoid pin back! Not all pin back is fake, but its a bad sign.
3.Overly aged branch insignia on tunic with NO wear.
4.note the collar hooks with NO wear.
5.pullover of wrong, postwar, material
6. and of course, the nice bright stamp with everything but the name of the guy who made it!
