The tunic of the rank and file of the Red Army of the 1943 model, the so-called "bezkarmanka"

An original and extremely rare tunic, sewn from light flannelette fabric by an artel "3rd five-year plan". The artel carried out its activities from about the beginning of the 1930s until 1955. There is little information about the creation of the artel. It is known that the artel was engaged in sap-felting production. During the war, new shoes were made and felted shoes were restored for the Red Army. Also during the war years, new production facilities were organized: knitting, sewing, sheepskin. In addition to the structural divisions in the village itself, the artel had divisions in the rural areas of the district. Size 48 (3 height). On the inside there is a manufacturer's stamp with the year of manufacture of the product – 1943 or 45 (the date is not clearly read, but it is safe to talk about these two numbers). The tunic has the original shoulder straps of the rank and file of the Red Army infantry with the manufacturer's stamps, which is very rare. The tunic is originally trimmed with American-made Lendliz brass buttons (there are no buttons on the sleeves). The fabric is slightly wiped in the area of the belt. The belt is not included. The tunic of this type was introduced by order of the People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR No. 25 of January 15, 1943. A rarity. Guarantee of authenticity.
