1960s Soviet Motorized Troops tunic opinions?

[Iron Comrade]

Any thoughts on this tunic. I am also thinking of buying it and I like the old style collar tunics like this one. Just want to show you guys before I buy. Thanks.

I can't see any problems, but as I mentioned in PM, you should consider complete sets rather than single tunics. It is a lot of work to make single tunics complete with trousers, belt and cap - and if you some day choose to sell your collection, it will be much easier to sell a complete set than just a tunic. IMHO.

[Iron Comrade]

I agree, However it is difficult to find complete sets, But I absolutely agree. Since it can be a pain to find all the right pieces like making sure the trousers match and getting the right peaked cap and just making sure everything matches the date of tunic since it'd be strange to have a WWII tunic with a Specialist badge from the 1980s. Thanks

Shoulderboards are fake.

[Iron Comrade]

Do you think the tunic is fake too?

[Komandir RKKA]

I think it's fake also.
Ask the seller to put sleeves aside and you'll see the side pockets.

Thanks for saving my money I thought it was too good to be true and this tunic design is of the Stalinist era not from the 1960s.
Instead i'm thinking of getting this instead.

You can get that cap for half the price asked in the link. Do a better search and you´ll find them.
