    Default Round button holes for shoulderboard buttons - Gymnasterka

    Hi,
    I've read on the forum here that round holes for the shoulderboard buttons on gymnasterka are considered a sign of German manufacture? Is this still the general concensus, and if so are we talking they were made in Germany anytime after May 1945 basically?
    Reason I ask is I know of at least 3 gymnasterka all with the round buttonholes for the shoulderboard buttons that are listed for sale on websites, some as "wartime made". I guess technically they are, as the Soviets fought in Japan after the war with Germany ended.
    Would these German made gymnasterka be made in Germany out of lend-lease material as well as Soviet material?


    3 different gymnasterka are shown below for example-

    Wartime made lendlease gymnasterkas have the same round holes.

    Thank you Marcel.
    Would wartime gymnasterka made from non lendlease material also have them?

    Just to clarify, by wartime you mean pre 8th May '45?
