    Hello collector-friends,

    I acquired this set last weekend.
    Officer's gymnasterka with piping for infantry.
    Trousers 1945 dated.
    It's hard to get the color right on the photos.
    Material is lend-lease?

    Opinions are very welcome.
    Thanks!

    Kind regards, Bjorn

    it's a old canadian wool from the Antanta stocks, stored in Murmansk and Arkhangelsk after WW1. The WW2 lend lease wool is more brown. But anyway it's known as lend lease wool.

    Bjorn!

    Looks A-OK. Good show!

    He would be a bit more WWII era accurate with the pre-1954 flat type stars on his shoulderboards.

    BTW, the colour on the board's center stripe is?

    From the images, it appears to be a dark red, along with edgings that are more of a crimson than usual - which signifies a non-combatant - I.E. Supply.

    Therefore, golden stars are in order. It could just be the light or my monitor though...

    Infantry combatant should like this - with a lighter edging, red centre stripe and silvered stars:

    Nice uniform Bruno! And a very realistic looking mannequin.

    Richie, I'm afraid your observations are correct...The center stripe is indeed dark red. Bummer for me, I thought these would be correct for Infantry. Well, I'll look further for a correct pair then...(and they seem so hard to find...)

    Authentic examples are indeed becoming hard to find, Bjorn.

    Are you sure the wool is Canadian? It looks nothing like Candian wool from the usual sources.
