TWO Original WWII / WW2 Soviet Uniform Tunics including ПВ Border Guards Tunic

Description

Pair
of Soviet WW2 and Post-WW2 Tunics Incl. WW2 Field Tunic and Post-WW2
ПВ Frontier/Border Troops Tunic
Out of my personal militaria collection I present to you the only vintage uniforms I have, a
pair
of
Soviet tunics
, including a WW2 field tunic and a post-WW2
ПВ
tunic
from the
Frontier
or
Border Troops
. The latter is named to the soldier who wore it, and bares the emblem of an NCO. If these two tunics belonged to the same soldier, he was promoted after WW2. The Border Troops bore the brunt of the German invasion of what is now Ukraine in 1941, though they are mostly associated with the now-defunct KGB.
Lorenzo, if you're reading this, I guess I
did
have a uniform after all! But it has never been displayed, and has been stored in a closet since I acquired it.
Just never had a huge interest in collecting uniforms or tunics - these came with a bunch of other militaria stuff I bought form another collector about twenty years ago. A great addition to any collection of Russian WWII militaria. This auction is for
both
tunics.

About Me
I have been collecting art and artifacts for over 35 years. I long ago learned that artifacts aren't merely things, but tangible time machines that transport us to another time, place, and culture. This lesson was imparted by my grandparents, who lived and worked in Africa and the Middle East in the decades following WW2. I was blessed to grow up around art and artifacts from a myriad of different cultures. I consider myself to be an "encyclopedic collector," with a focus on breadth over depth. While we all have a unique history, these artifacts represent the journey we have collectively taken together over the past 10,000 years - our Earth - Nostra Terra.
While we are grateful not to have lost any family, the pandemic has cost my wife her career and me my business. We now find ourselves in a need to proverbially pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. So I now find myself needing to release some of these objets d'art back into the wild. Some of these have been in the family for three generations, some for two. And many I have acquired over the past 35 years myself.  Whatever it is you end up with, I sincerely hope it brings you the same joy it has brought me for so many years. Cheers.
