Notes
¹ The full colour M35 insignia was replaced by a subdued M41 version in 1941. Cap stars were ordered to be painted green. However M35 insignia could still be seen throughout 1941.

² This should be worn with a white liner swen into the collar.

³ A cheaper alternative is to use the fake leather two tone post war models and paint them to look like real leather. As Y-staps were rare after 1941 it does not matter that they lack the loops on the rear.

* Be sure to avoid the 2 pocket F1 pouches as these are postwar.

** E-tools were always in short supply so many thousands of captured German ones were pressed into RKKA service. German fighting knives and bayonets could also often be used.

*** This is a very early war item and largely disappeared after 1941 so surplus to requirements for a later impression.

All prices are approximate. Also try Militaria Fairs - they can contain some real bargains. Most items can be bought on Ebay easily.
