Bad NKVD uniforms

DougD · 10-03-2004, 03:57 PM

Well, a bad NKVD pullover has shown up on our favorite "sell anything you want" auction site; this one is of course 100% right and real according to the seller, but he is either blind or does not know what he is talking about.

Note the newly made sleeve insignia, the poor collar patches, and the improper material.

the new sleeve insignia, probably made by our friends in Ukraine.

Hi Doug,
Woul it be possible to post a pic of a "good" sleeve insigna?
So far, I only have the drawing in Kutsenko's book to go on, so a pic would help

Thanks a lot.

No problem. NKVD stuff is among the most faked in Soviet militaria, so beware.
