No, I don't have any Schuma items. Never see them around here.
The jacket above I found like it is, complete with the shoulderboards. My first thought was when I found it that the collartabs belongs to caucasiens and not ROA, but indeed it is ROA. The jacket is a luftwaffe drillich jacket and all the emblems seems to be original attached.
About the red and white shoulderboards - they where worn by the Platov (cossack cavalry Regiment) in combination with the collartabs as on my uniform. These grey shoulderboards as on this jacket I never seen before.

I do not know these triangles. I know the sovjets used triangles, but i know very little about sovjet militaria.

Hello TrondK,
Thanks for your reply. This isn't an easy one as even ROA / RONA, if this is this, used different type of ranking during the war. At the end they tried to get more official german regulated rank but at the begining it was really various.
I saw that some were using similar rank like what they previously had in the Soviet army with collar tab similar to the M35.
But it is very difficult to find any documentation or real information on this
All the very best

Hello Frei,
Thanks for your response. Yes they look similar. Therefor they also differ by the drawing that usualy shows lines in the Inside wich isn't the case in the one I aquired
Here is an example on square one's
Very very nice railway star by the way : )

Indeed you are right.
Can it be that they are beiing made in differant factory's ?
In my russian ww2 collection are many items from differant factory's and no one is the same. Differances in colour, style etc. etc.
By the way the items on the picture (railway star etc.) are not from my collection. I found the picture on my computer, took it somewhere from the internet.

Hello Frei,
Very nice picture and very nice manaquin
It is iteresting to see all the dirrefernt comboination of eqipements
Most of the time collectors try to fit to the most standard items and display but reality on the field was far different. E^specially for troups form other countries.
I just learned that the pips I shown earlier came out with a group of Kriegsmarine insignias...
All the best
Bruno
