My soviet war correspondent impression

[Sierra Charriba]

This is my personal impression of Soviet war correspondent, battle of Berlin days, as it will be seen in the next number of "Eurouniformes", a Spanish magazine dedicated to the militaria. There are original elements and others that are a reproduction, but I believe that the set turns out to be convincing. I hope that you should like. The camera that appears is a FED "NKVD", dated in 1934.

the look

Love that coat, is it a repro or the real thing?

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Very impressive Komrade. :eusa_clap

Very sharp.

Sharp as a tack!

The coat is original. You can find it in www.frontofrussia.com , a very good ukranian militaria seller.

Very nice. Two small points of advise. First, hike up the belt a bit higher. Russians generally wore the combat belt high and tight. Second, the officer belt/Tokarev holster rig is generally worn over the leather commissar overcoat. Other than that, it looks great.

 

[Sierra Charriba]

Thanks, Vladimir, I will put into practice your advices .

Btw, good choice going with FrontofRussia.com. I have ordered two or three loads of stuff from Alex and it is always nice and he always throws in a couple extra goodies in the boxes which are a cool surprise.

Looking very sharp their. Very well done all you need is a repop Pravada from the 1940's shoved in one of the pockets

Thanks for the mention of the site! Looks great. Your uniform is top notch! Love the jacket especially. BTW- those who've ordered from FOR, how much is shipping typically from Russia?

Wow!

That outfit looks outstanding! I am going to show it to an office mate who is a Soviet re-enactor.
