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.
