Authenticity of these legal service NKVD pogoni?
Hey all!
I've had these for a little while now, however, I'm starting to doubt the authenticity of the pogoni.
My biggest issues with it are the odd stamp, which I believe says "1943, Dringend", and the thread type used on it.
It would be great to hear the opinion of some of the other collectors here!
Thanks in advance.
Looks like Czech or something similar. Not Russian.
Interesting shoulder boards of a major of the NKVD Legal Service. I think these shoulder boards may be early post-war. They may have been manufactured in the GDR as part of reparations to the Soviet Union.
There was also a shortage of fabric after the war. It was not uncommon for old Wehrmacht supplies to be used to produce Soviet uniforms. I have seen examples of this.
The text on the back of the shoulder board seems German to me; “1942 dringend (1942 urgent)".
It is indeed a possibility, in any case this pair of pogony is original fo me.
Thank you both! Looks like they're staying with me for the time being then.
