Hi Everyone
I have kind of been interested in ww2 russian militaria for quite some time now. I really would like to get this ball rolling.

I am interseted in mostly ww2 russian medals and field gear. Ive been kind of researching them on dealers websites and trying to learn as much as I can. I guess what has got the bug to bite me is I am collecting mosin nagant rifles and would love to make a display of russia used during the war.

Let me know if anyone can help me
Thanks
Scott

Hello Scot,

Like you I am also interested a lot in Soviet military, yet still there is so much to learn for me and it's rather hard because there aren't as many experts as in for example German or US military.

But a book that helped me is The Soviet soldier 1941-1945


Also Stalin's war - Soviet uniforms & militaria 1941-1945 is very helpful.



I know it ain't much but at least it's a start.

Best regards,
Marcel

I see you are from Wisconsin, so I trust you already know that Mills Fleet Farm has been selling both long and short examples of the Mosin Nagant for a while? Last time I checked I think the going rate was $99.
