I got these two pilotkas with some postwar junk. What period production these could be?
First one:
And the second one... Artel "Rekord", badly readable year:
Post war 1970's on the first one.
Had good advice? Saved money? Why not become a Gold Club Member, just hit the green "Join WRF Club" tab at the top of the page and help support the forum!
Pilotka number one after gentle wash... revealed some light greenish color at areas protected from direct UV light. Also I put here some additional material pics. Sure it is from 70´s?
...and some extra pics from pilotka number two... Artel "Rekord" Harkov (артель "Рекорд" Харьков). 50´s?
In this case, I think the "56" refers to the size of the cap...
The 56 in big numbers on the lower right corner is the size indeed. Year is unreadable on this one unfortunately.
Hello,
Difficult to judge from the photos but the 1st one looks nice too me.
Where were they found? The star is missing. Could it comes from former prisoners?
All the best

Thanks for answers! Yes, the number 56 is size (размер), no problems with that. But the pilotka number one looks somehow suspicious to be from 70`s. For me it looks more like wartime cheap low-quality production.
Also there are no links to associate these with prisones. Usally stars and other insignia is first to go and separated by former owners.
Pilotka number one is household find whrom eastern part of Estonia. I got these pilotkas included in two separate lots of postwar Soviet Army stuff.
