Turn of the centruy Russian Cav officer 02/19 - Update Nagants live!!

[Pony Racer]

I have not started my purchasing on this one - got too busy with finishing school and starting a new job.

It did not help that I had a major computer failure right near end of school either.

I had a rifle break -it is fixed but made me finally get a back-up and then i got a deal on a brace of 1861 navies that i could not pass on - lets just say NIB, never turned, recent manufacture - less than a pair of brass framed ones.

I also then changed duty stations and had issue with buying a gun since I am now stationed in DC.

But I have fixed that.

Thanks for bringing this back up

What have you got so far?

Pony,  I don't have a lot but here is what I have. 

Uniform, I have pants,one 2 pairs of real Soviet Sharpovi breeches.  They are post ww2 but are dark blue wool/poly.  With a bit of tailoring they will work.  I also picked up a post ww2 Gymnastoirka,wool.  The pattern is correct but the buttons are of course Soviet.  I need to source some Czarist buttons and shoulder boards.  All from Fleabay, cost about $75.  I also have a pair of repro cotton Kahki breeches.  Boots are being made, bought off of fleabay.

I have one repro Czarist Mosin Nagant ammo pouch.  A M1895 Nagant revolver,numerous Mosin Nagant rifles.  I have a US CW sabre(repop) that I think can be modded to work.  Basically replace/remodel the guard.

I think that I might have a source of real leather M1895 holsters.  If so I will get 2 and use these on a basic leather Sam Browne belt with the Nagant pouch.

No head gear yet, I haven't decided on a carbine or shotgun yet.

Did you get the shirt and pants from the above linked source in this thread?

Nope Pony Racer.  I got them from somebody in Russia, right off of Ebay.  One pair of the blue ones is too small.  I'll let them go cheap if you can use them.

Whats the waist size? and length?

Well, hard to say on the size.  I'm about 6'3" 220.  I usually wear a 36 waist(for comfort ya know!!)  These are a snug so maybe a 35-36 waist and maybe a 30" length.  They will work just fine for anybody with Cavarly boots.  I can email pics if you want.

[Pony Racer]

Unfortunately i am waist size 38.

Do you still have the seller's info from ebay??
