Research Soviet Film Studio Markings with regards to Pink Smocks

[Bob Chatt]

Dennis, for the last five years the suggestion has been made to speak with Floch, Peterson, and others who were there when the bales were uncovered or saw their first sales. A number of WAF people said they would talk with Floch "at the next show", but either they didn't or he is silent on the matter.

As has been said on the numerous threads about these smocks, alll you have to do is ask George Petersen and he just laughs and says they are fakes, no if, and's or buts about it.

Oak leaf ?


What are you asking

From what you wrote , if I understand correctly you have a regular smock with Minsk Film markings , correct?

"Experts" are proven wrong all the time on WAF (even just recently) , in fact most have gotten a black eye at one point or another. Comes with the territory, no one is perfect.

Its an overprint.

[kammo man]

In the regular M-42 cut.

Here are the two markings together. Mine on the left on an oakleaf smock and Owen's on an m42(?) smock. I'm curious to see what you are trying to prove.

[kammo man]

I simply gave you a bone of a mint example in my collection for your records.

No I got you moment...... just another stamp for your records.

[nutmeg]

Thanks!

In the spirit of the threads title.

Especially when it doesn't fit your agendas.

The person asked why no one had asked George Petersen since he was there when they all came out. George has answered on numerous different occasions to numerous different collectors. The answer has always been the same, " They are not real".

I see... I guess the Peterson comment fits your agenda though.

Wow, talk about someone being rude and condescending on this thread.

If someone does not agree with you, you become exactly what you complain that Owen does.

Hardly rude at all, you implied I have an agenda ( an insult) here and then when you get it thrown back all of a sudden you're insulted. If you can dish it you have to be able to take it.


I don't have 100 of these I want to sell. I have one. I think they are good, others disagree , that's what we are here for is to figure this out in a civil manner. If I'm wrong I'll admit it and move on to something else. However, I haven't seen anything that's proves these bad other then they don't look like the regular item.

There is an accepted standard.
They do NOT fit into this standard.
There is a reason they are NOT in the Beaver and the DR B book.

I am surprised you don't respect George Petensens knowledge on these.
