Soviet shoulder boards ??
Hello,
These shoulder boards seem soviet but never see this shape before. The colour is crimson with lighter stripes. East block perhaps ? Best regards Olivier |

The shape is unfamiliar to me, but the stars look like Czechoslovak. So, these may be Czechoslovak boards from 1950's. I have, however, seen only hexagonal Czechoslovak boards from that era, maybe it's because of the fact that I had only junior officer ones, but that shape may have another meaning.
Ah, this explains everything... Last edited by CtahhR; 09-11-2012 at 02:09 PM. |

They are indeed Bulgarian of the 50's-60's.
Here is an earlier communist Bulgarian uniform with more "Soviet" boards, although the centre part still does not look perfectly straight. Second is a 1955 dated photograph with the "curve" and thirdly a 1957 dated picture.
