OK, so They were piped. My mistake. Did it apply for all branches or just for NKVD Troops?
It is also correct thet in 1949 Armor troops and AF had this style of boards (the exceptions I've mentioned). However, this boards and tabs are neither for AF nor for armor troops. |

OK, I have an armor troops and they are not piped. So maybe the piping was worn only by NKVD?
But there's another problem. The boards are have both piping and stripes in royal blue colour, and this colour scheme was, I think used since the creation of MGB. After all, original NKWD colours were brick red/royal blue. Thay cannot be for engeneers either, since they would be royal blue/black. And oce again: the shoulderboards are non m45! They can at best be m49 and I doubt MGB (or whatever the name was at that time) had special uniforms then. I also think that there was some transitional uniform in 1954 - I remember seeing a picture in "Military uniforms of the Armed Forces of the USSR and Russia 1917 - 1990's". Unfortunately I don't have the book at hand... |

There was a M1955 Uniform which was grey in colour. I have two examples. One KGB and one is armour. They were only used for three years. They conisisted of a grey tunic and cap with dark blue breeches. This was a parade unfirom only.
