Dimas,

Wow. Thanks for the link. Have you seen this seller´s other items? Do you think they are "good" items?

Apart from the greatcoat, I like the pilotka and the palatka. If you consider them correct wartime, I would definitively go for them.

Regards,

Looks like the honest items- exclude a budionovka- I have doubts about it. But all the aother stuff looks very nice, and I will bid for some of them

I like the backpack "ranyets" and pouches" poudsoomke", ushanka too

Gentlemen,

Here are the pocket photos of the greatcoat. Included is a picture of the only marking found.

The front has two rows of SIX buttons.

Regards,

Gus

The stamp is fake and it's a postwar coat for sure

**RichieC** · 03-29-2009, 11:38 PM

I am not sure whether or not that is necessarily supposed (or intended) to be a "date" stamp...

I'd love to be wrong about what I am about to say, so if someone has info, lets hear it.

I strongly suspect that domed shoulderboard buttons without a rim around the perimeter are postwar even if unmarked on back. A possible exception might be the style of the embossed star on them.

Anyone?
