Gymnasterka M1935 genuine?

Hi folks. Keen to hear views on this one.

Looks too good to be true from its condition.

I think this is a simplified wartime M35 - no internal pockets or cuff buttons (although you'd expect the front buttons to be exposed).

What do you think? I don't have anything to compare it with...

I’m not a expert but I don’t like the fabric. IMO it’s too mustardish rather than pea green as it should be in this condition.

It's the material that bothers me most. It reminds me of the sort used for 70s-80s gas mask bags.

It looks a little different to those discussed elsewhere on the forum.

I posted this on a Russian forum too. More post views but not a single comment for or against.

Possibly too close to call...

I'll keep looking. Too many fakes and re-enactor offerings out there sadly.
