Question : Gymnasterka M43

**bourguignotte** · 04-30-2011, 09:47 AM

Hello Can you please help?

I am wondering if this Gymnasterka is WW2 or later. The inside pocket do not have the additional pocket for the ID so I beleve it is before 48.
Therefore their is no Elbow protection and the bouton are not the usual one.

What is your thought?

In advance thank you very much for your comment

Hello,

The pockets are a little smaller than other post war Gym I have.

The buttons are french. Could it be considered as a WW2 tunic used by a prisonner liberated by soviets?

Thanks for your input

It;s looks like a ww2 peiod made gimnasterka, but what with the shoulderstraps? Can you post pictures? I think they are not a war time issue

Hello Dimas,

Here is more picture. The Shoulderstaps are not good. I guess they are from 1955 but are made from US whool on one side and a thin red piece of I guess coton.

Thanks a lot for your input
