Good to know, thanks!

I have a few questions about Soviet uniforms.
I am thinking it would be interesting to have a real, correct one along side my SVT's (and my PTRD!)

Does anyone have any experience with these guys?

And is that a TRUE WW2 uniform? They call it an M69. If that is the year of adoption, we have a problem.
Price seems good, shipping is killer.
(Just for S&G, I went thru the whole order checkout to see what shipping is within USA. Airmail $70 ! )

Any other places to get real Soviet WW2 uniforms?

Also considering a helmet, either M36, Ssh-39 or Ssh-40

IMA has "Soviet style" knock-offs made elsewhere.

Real Soviet Ssh-40 helmet, but ships from Russia.

Any other options to be aware of? Thanks!

Tootall, you might want to research WW2 Soviet reenactor sites and contact them to find out where they obtain uniforms and web kit. Reenactors can be a fussy lot. Plus you might consider checking out the Soviet forums on War Relics. Lotss of collectors there that can give you advice on fakes vs authentic items. Might even sell to you.
