Douglas Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Any ideas what this jacket is? It appears to be a rubberized canvas or chemical resistant material with Soviet tanker insignia. Is the date 52 OCT 4? The ribbons appear to be the Order of the Patriotic War, Order of the Red Star and the medal For Courage. NFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the second line is actually размер 52 рост 4 - those are measures. Last line is manufacturing year, this 1975, so this is USSR era stuff... And this is not a tanker jacket, this is fantasy item. Little search shows that already 2006 this was around and they ID'd it https://forum-antikvariat.ru/index.php/topic/13737-kurtka-tankista-75-goda/ You can use Google translate to read the thread there but bottom line - stay away from it, fantasy item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hello Doug & Val, Nice item but as Val mentioned very clearly the answer (he's clever ol Val) he's the one to find the answer! Best wishes to you both.....Desert Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
