A collector of Soviet militaria wrote me that the stamps are post war military warehouse stamps. This is what he wrote me;
The stamps on that tunic are not maker's stamps (not factory), it's depot's stamps - made by military base warehouse much more later. Usually depots stamped them if original stamps were bad visible or tunic came to unit warehouse without any stamps at all. So, I am are sure that tunic was produced earlier than 1947. More important to note that the gymnasterka's model and material/cloth is ww2. The tunic is 100% WW2 type of cloth, also typical ww2 construction/model. So, I can say it's ww2 gymnasterka with later stamped depot's stamps.
NB! You can also look at the original factory stamps how they should look like (look at the attached file). It's a big square with a size, year and factory name. Your stamps is just depot stamps (only numbers and letters) made after the war, but the tunic is 100% correct ww2 gymnasterka.
He also sends me a picture of a Soviet-Russian factory stamp. By the way, this collector is not the person who is selling this Gymnasterka.
Do you think this statement of this collector is not right Lapa? If so, please let me know.
