Description
The first mass-produced Soviet camouflage uniform was the makirovochnyi kamuflirovannyi kostium or MKK, printed with large reddish-brown amoeba shapes on a light green or khaki background. Introduced in 1938, the MKK (also issued as a one-pieced coverall or makirovochnyi kombinezon – MK) was in service with engineers, snipers, airborne forces, forward artillery observers and reconnaissance units throughout the Second World War. Coloration of the pattern varied depending on the factory that produced it, and there is sufficient evidence to suggest that specific color variants were produced for particular seasons or types of climate.
These pants show period repairs, staining, and serious signs of being period worn during the war. Finding examples of combat worn Soviet uniform related items are very hard to come by. These would look great with a German uniform as they would always use captured camouflage items when liberated!
