An interesting polish uiform - 50's
I dug it in my wardrobe few days ago - I consider it worth posting, as not many of those survived - and those that did are usually even more moth-eaten than this one.
It's m52 walking-out uniform. Here - a "winter" variant of the jacket made of wool material which seeems to be moths' favorite. This uniforms were used from 1952 to 1958 and apart from the material, their distinctive characteristic is the piping around cuffs and on trousers - because of that, those are sometimes reffered to as "soviet style" uniforms. The cap (1954 made) and belt were actually itroduced in 1948, but remained unchanged untill 1958. Altough I purchese polish uniforms only ocassionally (currently everything older than 1958 is sold at insane prices, which are actually nothing compared to the prices of pre-war uniforms), this is one of my favorite (mabe not as much as soviet m55, but close to that) - the looks of oxidized buttons and buckle on this material looks really nice - altough it's not as spectacular as soviet uniforms. This one belonged to a captain of ground forces. after buying this I had to remove the stars, badge and ribbons to get rid of moths' eggs, but now everything is in place again. The cap and belt were bought separatel, but the rank is the same on the cap as it is on the tunic (porucznik - lt./sr.t.) Last edited by Art; 03-10-2009 at 05:34 PM. |
