RKKA Skis

[Artyom]

I bought these recently in St Petersburg, they follow the design and binding system in wartime photos and there is even ground dug evidence of this binding system. However unfortunately there is no date stamp on them so whether or not they are indeed wartime i fear can never be determine. But all of the design and material used points to wartime.
Of course the shoelace on the bindings isn't original, it is a stand in because the original white leather used (like on PPSh sling) was very brittle.
Opinions appreciated.
