Red army infantry leutenant, 1941- display

Heres the next grouping i got to share . The M 1935 gymnastiorka blouse here is a thick wool in dark green khaki . i was lucky a while back to obtain the belt and braces in the pre war tsarist style . This one is dated 1941 and was never used . It came from a veterans son in St Petersburg . The Furazhka peaked cap is my best one, and was owned by a proffesor at the Academy of Arts who was a war artist.

It is not often that we can see this kind of thing.

congratulation !

Its harder to obtain than German WW2 as it seems most were worn till threadbare and thrown away . Also in Russia there less opportunity to store than in Europe. The artists cap,being a proffessor was an exception as he was allocated a large flat of 19th c style in the grounds of the academy on Vasilievsky Island

An excellent display with a great deal of dedication on show as well-do you have the M1895 Nagant revolver for the holster?

[Rob truscott]

Its in the holster weighing the belt down that side !

Nice display! I'd like to do something similar, but for your average enlisted man!

It is quite true!

Were worn till threadbare was the key word in the Red Army

I got an early war other rank on this RKKA uniform section here too. Look for ' RKKA rifleman 1941 uniform and equipment ensemble '

I've seen this M35 is very nice !

I hope to one day have the same type of jacket.
