Historical Background & Overview

An exceptional and guaranteed original piece of Soviet Red Army (RKKA) history: an authentic Model 1943 (M43) field / service tunic tailored specifically for a Senior Officer (Major / Lt. Colonel) of the Infantry (Rifle Troops).

Unlike standard coarse enlisted cloth, this high-ranking officer's tunic is tailored from lightweight fine wool cloth (officer-grade diagonal weave), reserved exclusively for command personnel. It is fully completed with original 6-sided infantry field shoulder boards (pogoni) featuring classic crimson infantry piping and officer braids.

Collector & Technical Highlights
  • Model: Soviet regulation Model 1943 (M43) standing-collar field tunic with dual chest hook closures and brass/steel star-embossed military buttons.
  • Rank & Service Branch: Soviet Infantry Senior Officer (Major / Lieutenant Colonel) with authentic 6-sided shoulder boards.
  • Premium Officer Fabric: Lightweight, supple, high-grade officer wool cloth (fine diagonal weave). Breathable, elegant drape, and markedly superior to rough soldier wool.
  • Documented Combat Wear / Award Traces: The chest area displays genuine original mounting holes/punctures from period screwback orders (such as Order of the Red Star, Patriotic War) and medal ribbon bars. For serious collectors, this provides unmistakable evidence of real combat/service history.
  • Condition: Good, authentic vintage condition. The tunic is structurally strong, clean, with honest historical service wear and character. No severe dry-rot or major tears.
  • Estimated Size: Approximately Size M (Soviet Size 48 / 50). Please inspect the tape-measure photos for exact centimeters and inches.
