Soviet USSR AIR FORCE DAILY MAJOR UNIFORM

clebercalado · 05-10-2005, 07:30 AM

Hy guys, I don´t have yet an soviet uniform, and this one complete is being offered on E... for 25,00 US$.
Despite the wrong badges, someone have somenthing to tell me ?

I don't have any problem with it (other than the badges). I used to work near one of the big air force senior academies in Moscow and used to see hundreds of these uniforms every day - seeing this one brings back memories! :D

Cleber,

Look at the auction--the price is USD$25 but shipping is another $30. Further, when I first started collecting almost a year ago I bought a few of these from that ebay seller, and when I got them I realized that they were new. I'm not sure if they are unissued uniforms with stuff put on, or straight ukranian repros, but they certainly dont have the wear and tear a uniform should have. If you look at the pics, this uniform too looks brand new.

I'd save your money and buy a nice uniform from one of the uniform dealers on the forum. It will have character and you will probably be able to resell it should you like or need.

My 2 cents,

Tim

Hi Tim

Could you send me a PM indicating some good seller of uniforms?
I live in BRAZIL so, the 30,00 US$ shipping is probably correct.
Do you see any problem with this uniform, at least the collors and shoulderboards and collar patches?

Best Regards

Cleber

Cleber,

The stamp from the pants looks ok, and I'm not aware of anyone faking M69 pants stamps. The jacket is probably unissued new, with surplus boards and tabs. The buttons on the coat look a little wierd--rather dark. But, the photos are not very good. I guess my opinion is that it all might be genuine parts put together by the seller. At any rate, this seller always has this kind of stuff.
