Identifying Wartime enlisted trousers
Hello all,
Recently I've been after WWII Soviet enlisted trousers (hit me up if you have some you'd part with for cash or trade) Here's the biggest problem though - I am not sure how to identify them properly yet! I'm searching in the dark.
From my understanding there is the m35 and m44 (m44 had a pocket on the butt). I hear both were occasionally made without knee reinforcements to save material, the m44 and m35 looking models were made all the way after the war and look very much the same after the war (except the m44's had a change where an internal pocket on the inside of the butt pocket was added after the war at some time I hear?)
Now what are the tell tell signs of wartime verses post war? Are there certain pocket materials and colours more easily identified with wartime?
I've heard something about the double belt loops, but even into the 50's I see double belt loops - So I'm lost there.
You guys have made me a damn near expert on tunics and I've found wartime tunics because of studying the forum, but I've seen very little on trousers here.
If anyone has pictures that would be great!

Here is the 1944 standard for ORs sharovari. Not that this is gospel! The document's name in Russian is ТУ №969. If you Google it, it you'll probably hit a gold mine of Soviet WW2 patterns.
