Armoured troops of NKVD?

[massenez]

Hello,
I would like to know If NKVD armoured units have existed? Here is a pair of boards for technical officer of NKVD but this is the first Time I see such boards with tank insignias.

I have seen NKVD straps with specialist insignias but never tank insignias.

I think the straps with silk braids are good, but is it the good insignias?

Regards.

Jean

The problem is the straps. They has been found in Leningrad filmstudio in a huge bunch. I have seen them there about 5 years ago, and it was approx a 1x2 meters box, and 60 cm high. The costumer said that for the last 10 years another 3 boxes are missed " somewhere" . They are original textbook examples, but all in white tech and justice / medical service( slim). All of the branches are exists for NKVD troops, even airforce, but tech branch of armored troops will bear the french wrench tool with hammer on it.

Hi DIMAs, thank you for this answer. with your experience what do you think of the uniforms used by Russian film studios? Are they often original parts? I have trousers which look original but with theater's stamp inside. the cut of the pants, the fabric and seams match perfectly. I wonder if copies for theater or film would be as well imitated.
