Original M35 Gymnasterka?

[Boycie]

Would anyone be able to comment on this Gym?

For sale from a reputable UK dealer.

Pictures from their site so apologies for size.

Presumably listed as NKVD due to the pockets.

It is a officer blouse in the configuration of 41 but you should ask for better pictures .

[Boycie]

I have asked.

The material looks ok to me, similar to a gymnasterka I've seen in the WW2 museum in Kyiv.

The four buttons down the front is unusual i think.

One of the examples in Shalito and Savchenkov's book looks like it might have 4 too (p29). I think there has been a discussion on this topic elsewhere.

[Dom]

Let me say that featured in a museum is not a guarantee of authenticity
I have the book that you are quoting, personally I do not take everything literally.

Expect new pictures but with this , I'm far from convinced

[Boycie]

Agreed.

But museums, books and forums are all most of us have to go on!

Pending new pictures, what don't you like about this Gymnasterka?
