Right, this lot has been sat in my wardrobe for 3 years or so, since the idea for a Russian front game was first floated, and i had more money than sense, but it's just never really caught my enthusiasm or interest in the same way Brit or German has, so it's time for it all to go to a good home. Or at least, another home. :lol:

I'd rather this all went as one lot, I don't want to sell bits off in dribs and drabs and spend forever queuing in the post office. If you want to buy it and then sell off what you don't want yourself, that's fine by me! Most of it was imported from Front of Russia, before the guy became a thieving f*ckwit, so it's all pukka gear. Probably post-war in date, but close, if not the same as wartime issue. Items are as follows:

Field gear, consisting of: Canvas/fake leather belt, Water bottle, grenade pouch, Gas mask bag (empty, but ideal for mags and pyro etc), Plasch palatka (post war with brass grommets, but with wooden toggles), Veschmeshok rucksack (correct pattern without outer pocket) and cold weather gloves with trigger finger. None of it has been issued/used, all in fantastic condition.

M43 Gymnastiorka. This is practically unworn, about a 40-42" chest. All comrades are equal, but with these blingin' brass buttons, you'll be the envy of the party conference! also includes a collar liner (unused)

Sharovari breeches - Again, pretty much unissued condition, with the diamond knee reinforcements. Sizing about 32-34" waist.

Shinel Greatcoat: about a 42" chest, but a good sizeto fit over kit, and bloody warm. Worn once for a social event, as it was cold.


and details on the inside pocket:

hats - 2 Pilotka (Sizes 56 and 59), and a proper 'fish-fur' Ushanka with painted metal badge, not one of the later crap ones. good and warm!

Boots: Unused, size 27.5, which is about an 8 - 8.5 i believe. Big on me and i'm an 8.

Helmet: This is a post war, Eastern Bloc one of unknown origin liner about 58-ish, but i've opened it up to fit my 59 head.

and the liner:

As I said, I'd rather sell this as one lot, and to be honest, I'm not sure how much a complete set up is worth these days. It set me back over a couple of hundred quid 3 years ago.

With that in mind, I'd like £200 for the lot. Would prefer collection/meet somewhere, but buyer can pay shipping and i'll package it all up...

Feel free to get in touch if you're interested in taking it off my hands, it's a great way to pick up a complete set of pretty much everything you'd need in one go. I'm in no massive rush to shift it, so won't be giving it away though! Oh, and the flag's not for sale unless i get a good offer on it, it's genuine!

Also, if anyone's interested, I've also got a deactivated Tokarev pistol and holster I might be looking to sell, too. It's the postwar chinese model, but apart from some markings, it's identical to the Russian one. Fully working action and slide etc, sympathetically deactivated. £200.
