Found this M43 today and would like to hear some opinions about it.
Never had shoulderboards. All the buttons are unmarked.
Could it be wartime gymnasterka?
Thanks!

Unmarked buttons mean nothing...
It was not until early 50X that Soviet factories produced buttons that were marked.
IMO, it is a nice surplus heavy wool tunic that was manufactured during the late 40s and/or early 50s.

Thanks!
Does the fabric differ very much from the fabric that was used during wartime?
IMO, yes - but very close.
It would be an educational experience if Dimas and/or Vadim chimed on this also...

I've seen some war time examples made of similar cloth, but this one is postwar as Richie mentioned
