60th Anniversary of the Moskovskiy Border Guard Unit,
commemorative badge, 1992. Part of the former Soviet Central
Asian Border Guard District (KSAPO), this unit remained on the
Tajik-Afghan border following the dissolution of the USSR and
was constantly engaged in action against infiltrating Muslim
militants and narcotics smugglers. Although a post-USSR issue,
the badge is very much Soviet in its design and execution.

GRU Spetsnaz Winter Uniform, dated 1977 / 76. Includes heavy tunic in olive drab with additional separate button-in padded liner and tsygeika lamb fur collar, plus matching pair of pants, also with detachable liner. Size 52-5 (Medium / Large). This is a rare, very early issue of the winter uniform which was later modified to become a well known Afghanka. Both the jacket and pants are in superb unissued condition, with manufacturer's tags.

ShZ-78 Air Force ribbed leather, WINTER model with fur liner,
dated 1980. Size 57. A superb Afghan War era example.
