Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic uniform set that was once worn by a 2nd Lieutenant in the Red Army during WWII. The set consists of a Gymnastyorka and pair of trousers, both offered in wonderful service used condition. Gymnastyorka was a Russian military smock comprising a pullover-style garment with a standing collar having double button closure. Additionally, one or two upper chest pockets, with or without flaps, may have been worn. It had provision for shoulder boards and sometimes reinforced elbows and cuffs. The Tsarist version had the standing collar while the M35 version had a stand-and-fall collar which was replaced with the standing collar in the M43 version. The Soviet Military M35 version usually had hidden buttons. A double breasted version (kitel) for officers of all ranks existed during the Tsarist period.

The condition is quite nice with all buttons present on the tunic with a few scattered areas of holes. This is a field worn uniform and it does show signs of actual field use and is presented without any extensive damage. The shoulder boards consist of a single star and single central stripe, indicating the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.

A lovely uniform ready for further research and display.
