Soviet or Russian?

RussiaBoy · 08-19-2006, 09:43 PM

Not knowing much about peacoats other than i want one, they are warm, and look nice, i don't know if this oen is Soviet or Russian or even maybe Ukrainian. The date code is a little hard to read. I'll probably get it either way but would just like to know what insignia I will need.
Thanks!!!!

Justin,

From what I can make of the label, sounds Soviet to me.

Thanks!
Are there any differences that even exist?

Just won it off ebay!

What insignia do I need to get to complete it?

Seems like navy winter wear... when I first saw the pic, it felt like half the coat was missing, like if it was a long winter coat that has been shortened, but looking closer it is probably a correct pea coat.

Anyone have any insignia for sale I could use for it?

Thanks!

hey,

it is a soviet version. i know because i have a russian version that i accidently bought looking for a soviet one. boards are tough to find for that (i have tried, believe me). now, for the difference...

on your shoulders, there is no loop of fabric attached by a button for a SLIP ON rank board. on the russian ones there are these attachment loops. the soviet boards for this are sewn on as opposed to slipped on.

hope this helps and i hope i am right (or at least not completely wrong :thumbsup )
