Hello all,
Recently I got this gymnasterka with Senior Lieutenant shoulderboards. I know a bit of Soviet uniforms but can still use some help. I am pretty sure this is an original wartime worn gymnasterka. The collar shows signs of usage where a neck collar had been stitched once. The cuffs show wear and staining. On the chest there are signs of orders and medals being worn. So all in all I am pretty convinced this is a good one. The shoulderboards however I have no clue about. All I can say is from my observations that both have been there for a long time and the edges show staining and wear from being worn a lot. The stars on the boards are also nicely embedded in the boards.
So I am looking forward to hear opinions from more experienced uniform collectors and especially from those with experience with shoulderboards. Thanks a lot in advance!
Here's the uniform:
