    gymnasterka and hat question

    What is this tunic, I have gotten mixed opinions on the tunic so far, from pre war , 1924, to crimean to civilian. Maybe officers or private made?
    I can't find any photos of a tunic like it in my searches. There are no stamps on the tunic. The buttons on the tunic are not original to the tunic as they show signs of replacement sewing. The color is a greenish khaki, the photos don't really show the right color.
    Each side of the front of the blouse has two sewn darts that only run half way down the length of the tunic. One under each pocket and one on each side. Plus there are four full seams, one on each side, one down the middle front, and one down the middle back. The material is a tight weave and fairly heavy weight.
    Appreciate any opinions on the tunic and hat
    As far as the hat, I'm not sure what it is or what period and maybe it's not very old. Is it a paratrooper or tanker helmet and what period? There's no markings in it. Let me know if more photos are needed, Ray

      The inside seams on the hat appear to be hand sewn. Is it Russian or some other country's. It's not the best quality.
      There are no holes for a mike/headset.

        There's a good discussion on the hat here, http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/headge...8/#post1138761
