Summer Gymnasterka - Real or ????

[Docholl]

A Summer issue pullover. Your thoughts are welcome. I have placed the matching Bud in a separate post for review.

Thanks for your time.

I think the tunic looks good, never seen a summer hat with the two stars like it has but beyond that it looks good as well. Send me your email and I can get you in touch with experts.

I can’t say I get a good feeling about either, I’m afraid..
The cloth is absolutely identical in both garments, and has a ‘stone-washed’ appearance to it, rather than any natural wear or fading.
It also seems odd that both have the same size marking.

Of course, I do not have them in hand, so I can only judge from these images, but it is not a set I would feel comfortable with in my collection.
I hope, for your sake, I am wrong.

My very best wishes, stay safe,
Bob

Thanks for the input. I do not own that set, just thinking about it.

Hello Docholl,

The chances of getting an original set like this are infinitesimal, in my opinion way less than having the luck to find an original SS-VT set of jacket and cap.

I don't like anything of what I see, the same judgement is also for the Budenovka. In my opinion the stamps are fake.

Finally, I suspect these items (and other very rare pieces showed in the past in different threads) came all from the same sources, considering the background of the pictures and the style and conditions of the items (all very similar).

Don't waste money in such things ;D

Best regards
Gabriele
