It is very suspicious to me, all the markings is a really bad, the cloth is improper

I'm agree.
"Артель Союз Мира" - is a very strange name.
Latin "Y" in the name of the city Tula... In Russian there should be the letter "У" (ТУЛА)
Seems that smb wanted to write like Russians but didn't know the language.
Most likely this smock is a Czech film studio product.

McSeam, not only the lettering, but also the whole stamp looks wrong. I think the filmstudio stampings is also added to look like a filmstudio, as some very famous stampings from Lenfilm and PROKAT ( some kind a of warderobe rental for filmstudio) And with the big- "Списано" - Reject markings seen on a fake stuff. Artel " The World's Union" is definitely hears wrong

Pmj,

check the threads if they are fixed to the fabric from outside or if they are pulled through the fabric by fox knot. Also the threads must be made of a bast and no fabric as on the picture. This kind of modification was made in Czechoslovakia after the war but threads were sewed in fabric of maskalat and were not made from a bast. I think it is Czechoslovak after war production and it is different from WWII Red Army model 1927. I have better replica at home as this maskalat. We have tried to follow exact working process but is is not original :-) it would be always better.

Hello all,

I have sent these pictures to my friend in Czech rep. and he definitely confirmed me that it is some home made invention :-). It is a little bit close to the Czechoslovak version from 50s but just close. Her are some pictures about the real model 1927 RKKA camo suit. You can see that it is very far from the original model.

Soviet "Maschalaty", replic from Ukraina

[Ltmoravcuk]

Sorry it is not replica from Ukraine but from Czech rep. Just a few pieces were worked out and 2/3 was bought by me :-) I think that those ones are one of the best replica what I have ever seen. Very close to original as quality of material as colors point of view.
