One thing that has happened to me since I "discovered" this site and of course , Mosin Nagants, is that I have a new appreciation for the Russian soldier, Russian history, Finnish History and of course, Mosin Nagant rifles in all of their various variations.

Those are some sweet coats Des & I imagine would come in pretty handy east of the mountains in another month or so. When I was in Moscow a few years back I didn't see any in the military surplus shops I visited. I did however end up with a pretty sweet ushanka.

All the nice PPSh's and M91/30's are making me drool.
...I still need to buy a Ushanka too.

Weapons are one thing, but please no putting on Soviet uniforms and parading around the neighborhood. Cold War memory's are still sharp, I still have a shovel out in the shed, and that quiet place way back up in the hills for all the "good commies" who invade the USA. ![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
