I never saw this in USSR. I think this is fantasy.

Thanks!
The "1" was a bit distorted.
Was the telogreika used as late as 1974?
Could be the size "grow 3 and length 1"? (рост 3 сорт 1)

Ah! Gilles, I forgot you bought that DDR/USSR shirt from me! 2007... that was a few years ago

Because of the ink stamps the best I can tell is it was made in DDR. For sure it is DDR cloth. VERY RARE cloth, which is important to know. Of course the style and buttons are definitely Soviet.

My guess? A Soviet officer had it made for himself sometime in the 1950s. Either that or a German tailor made it to try and make some money from Soviet soldiers.

Whatever the truth is this is a very rare item. Maybe only one of these in the world. Whatever it is, I think it is quite valuable. I am happy Gilles has it.
