Air Force M43 Gymnastierka

This is a ВВС/VVS Air Force lieutenants tunic. The three wound badges are self made, most likely done by the owner of the tunic. Guards badge goes with the tunic. A very nice tunic IMO. Opinions are more than welcome





Chest pocket construction





Guards Badge

Nice shadow for a Red Star! Is there a similar shadow under the Guards badge?

That is a great field worn tunic. Usually these simply did not survive. So many in collections are nicer ones issued after one got back from the front.

Thanks a lot mate. Yes i think it's a really nice example. I have put it up for sale in our Classifieds section.
