Re: New Russian Uniforms!

what is a gorget ??

i may sound stupid after being in the army but i have never heard of a gorget.

I must say i love those uniforms ,, they have some thing grand going on there.
the last picture the neck plate makes me think of the things we have to wear when on guard duty.

Re: New Russian Uniforms!

Gorgets are the neckplates. They date back to early days when a metal plate covered the space between the upper edge of the armor breastplate and the chin of your helmet (allowed easy motion while still guarding the throat from a rapier thrust). By the 18th century they were more decorative and used by officers. A pricey third reich artifact is the neck gorget in luminescent paint used by german field police. Well maybe not this particular one but you get the idea

Eric,

The boards and gorget are for officers in the Kremlin Guard; the one I posted is an enlisted mans set. Same basic uniform though.

Well, as you can see from the pictures, they are definitely newer and better-looking SKSs with the 5 round magazines.;)

Thank you Doug! Those are the photos I was talking about in Post #24.:thumbsup

You just don't see that kind of pomp (good context) in very many of the "bigger name" countries. Even France has toned down their uniforms. I think some of the north African coastal countries and maybe certain regiments in India or possibly Indonesia are the only other places I can picture guard uniforms this classy (and the Brits of course).

Now I said that I can think of, so don't everybody start making a list of places I "forgot" to mention because I didn't leave anyone out intentionally; I'm just going on memory and semi-educated guesses.:)

While looking for oldschool uniforms I stumbled across the Papal Guard. :p

Right! I think the old Moisin-Nagants were for the recent victory parades. I found many pictures of those.

Eric, funny you should mention that. When I was about 13 years old, my grandmother went on a "religious tour" of Italy and a few other places. One of the things she brought back for me was a small toy doll wearing what I thought at the time was a woman's outfit. If it wasn't for the halberd in one hand, I would have been a bit less than exthusiastic about receiving it - Papal Guard or not. I was into coins back then and she did bring me a nice Vatican City piece (which I don't think you are supposed to take out of the city, much less the country).

Now, I really wish I could find it since it came in a plastic tube that I kept it in on a shelf in my closet.:( Considering the detail of the uniform, it's probably worth a nice chunk of change now.

Happy Thanksgiving
Phillip

Does he still retain the old title (MotSU)?
