Sometimes things go wrong with shipping :-(

Mine is not GDR also, Soviet winter afganka. Althought well packed, it was ripped in a corner, something tore the jacket in the chest area. Apart from that, the uniform is perfect. I will go to a seamstress to fix it, but I will need a piece of the same cloth. Is the rectangular cloth strip for this or for write the owner name?

Hi Jose

If only the seller had put a big plastic bag around the uniform , than the damage maybe was not so bad .
Its always tricky to have things shipped , some sellers dont care at all .
I hope you can restore this uniform .

I can relate. Over the years I've had numerous mangled and cracked DDR badges show up from Germany with no padding in envelopes the consistancy of tissue paper.

yes, you are right, but I can not blame the seller. he takes some precautions, the cardboard packet was inside a cloth bag sewed into shape, and sealed with bright red wax, like the "three musketeers" letters!
Thank you for your moral support.
