Hi guys,

Any advice on this set? I know that stamps like these are commonly faked. My hopes aren't high for this one but I figured I'd ask just in case.

Thanks,
Mo

Hi Mo, fake stamps for sure.

The trousers are the wrong cut for wartime.

Cheers, Ade.

The "producer" had no f.... clew of basic facts!!
His stamp mentions:
1. КПСС acronym which did not exist in 1943
2. 23d Party Congress which took place in 1966

Whats up Mo,

I assume you have already paid for and received this "set"?

Nope, it's up on Ebay right now. I'm looking for an original Gymnasterka but I'd rather not pay $800 for one, so I'm keeping an eye out for bargains. I want to learn about these as much as possible.

I am very pleased to know that you inquired about it to the forum BEFORE you bought it. Keep looking, I am certain something will turn up for you eventually.

One more point gents, just for fun, re the stamp:
КИШИНЕВ - Kishinev (capital of Moldova)
An exclusive Soviet gymnasterka and pants made in the city occupied by Germans in 1943
