Soviet WW2 tank crew uniform. Leather.

[Datrus]

In my search for a Soviet leather tank helmet, i got to know a guy who has this uniform up for sale.

I will put it up in Classifieds with the price 1900 Euro. I write the price here because i'm in doubt if it is a must. Just to be on the safe side. Also i of course want to shows this uniform to all who is interested in these items.

I am quite sure this is an original WW2 uniform, but opinions is most welcome.

For leathers not of probleme for me.
A good photo of the badges of collar would be needed.

From the images ONLY, I am skeptical about the buttons. They seem like later buttons that have been poorly spray lacquered.

For me to erase my skepticism, you need to take good close-up images of them also.

I will take better pics of them too. I trust the owner, but if it's bad i will remove it from Classifieds immediately. He say it is from 1943 on onwards. Do you know for how long time USSR used this model uniform? Sure they must have used them post war also

This model of tank outfit is 1930s vintage - Of course it could have been used early in the war. Surely not postwar in any case.

[Datrus]

Ok. It's that old. Thanks for the info. Close up it does not look "strange" in any way. Collar tabs look good. I must admit i had some unconcious attention to the buttons, but USSR items can be hard to judge. We will see soon. Hope you can tell the difference. Is there swome discreet way to check the buttons while i am there?

Hi,
For me, the whole Soviet WW2 tank crew uniform is genuine leather. The buttons are similar to those of my set.
For collar tabs should be better photos.
Regards.
