Michael,

I now see what you mean about the helmets, related to the rest of their uniforms.

Quite confusing, I agree. But it it what makes soviet collection so interesting. There are things...

Michael,

Maybe it has to do with the helmets they are wearing, but I am not as knowledgeable with them as to see anything abnormal.

So, after careful observation, I cannot find anything...

SSRuslan,

Nice photos and reference material. Thanks for sharing them with us!!

Gus

Michael,

Thanks for the photo, very nice!

The only thing I see odd is that the sleeves of the tanker in the foregroud are not padded, like the rest of his jacket.

If so, it comes to show...

Michael,

Thanks for your answer.

No, the seller tells me there are no internal markings at all. But the jacket does look good by the few photos that he provided, compared to others seen in this...

Gentlemen,


And yet another candidate to be a wartime jacket.

What do you think of this one?


Thanks in advance and regards,

SSruslan,

Thanks for your feedback.

Other members had already told me some time ago in this thread that this particular jacket jacket was indeed post-war.


The search for a decent wartime...

Ade,

Oh, yes, you are an expert, and also humble. And one of the nicest persons I have met on a forum!

Regarding the collar of the jacket, I have not the slightest idea if it is german or not,...

Mike,


Fully understood.

I will certainly take your comments in consideration.

The amount of black holes that still exist in this field of soviet collecting is incredible. It is a...

Mike,

Thanks for your comment. You raise a very good point.

I have checked the forum for photos of other padded jackets (especially the wonderful ones you posted with different colours), and...

Dimas,

Thanks for your reply.

So you actually think it is a war period jacket?




Regards,

Richie,

Thanks for your reply.

The supposed vet is a German. No information whether he was a POW in the USSR or if the jacket was an eastern front bringback.

Gentlemen,



Here are pictures of yet another telogreika I have been offered. They are not dealers, but the family of a vet selling the state found on an attic (or so they say). No sign of...

Eric,

Check the web page of Espenlaub Militaria. They have an original for sale.


WW2 Soviet winter jacket

Thanks again for your advice, Dimas. You are 100% correct about the dealers´ unwillingness to send clear pictures. It is always a red flag for me.

Regards,

Gus

Thanks for your answer, Dimas. No, there are no signs of stampings (at least that is what the dealer tells me).

I told me to send me close-up photos, but they came out very unclear.

I am...

Hi,

Take a look at these photos of another telogreika I have been offered.

What can you folks say about it?

Is it wartime?

The colour seems to be consistent with a wartime specimen, but...

Wise words, Richie.

Contrary to other fields of collecting, such as Third Reich or U.S. Army WWII militaria, educating yourself or asking in a forum some years ago was next to impossible when it...

So true. Tell me about fakes and remarked items, I have discovered I have a nice collection of fake soviet GPW dated stamps, without even pretending to...:rolleyes:



Gus

Dimas, thanks for your answer. A nice, short and concise description of the attributes of a wartime Telogreika that will surely be incredibly useful.

Philippe, thanks a bunch for posting the...

Yes, That is the name of the dealer who sold me the garment years ago! I can see that he and his "instruments" are well known. LOL .
My suspicions were founded. Luckily I did not pay too much for...

Gentlemen,

Since my childhood, the image of the soviet soldier of the Great Patriotic War included the telogreika padded jacket. For me it is an iconic part of his uniform, and it has ever since...
