Hi, I’m new to this forum, and I’m looking for pictures of uniforms from the 1950s. I am trying to look for a soviet-ish style of uniform, but more unique and no red stars plastered on it.

Please, leave some pics or some links in your replies.

Ever since I first read Mollo in 1969 or 1970, the footnote citations to the RZM Mitteilungsblaetter intrigued me, and, though I had access to significant
research libraries in CONUS and in western Europe in the years since, I never actually saw the things in reality, let alone owned them.

I have passed this threshold as a collector, and here is the magic logo in the original.

These are confusing, detailed, arcane and very rich sources.

Thanks to Peter Jenkins.

Finally Taking a break from the remodeling to play with my camera.I thought I would post a few pics of a nice Good Luck pouch I recently acquired from a good friend of mine.The pouch itself is made from an elegant tapestry type of material and features a fearsome dragon writhing about the pouch.The pouch contains
A paper "Ofuda" or good luck charm.Inside an envelope which bears a shrine seal, is a card featuring the deity Fudo-Myo-o It is said Fudo Myo-o has a fearsome appearance to be able to frighten people into accepting salvation.His frightful expression is to remind people of the demons waiting in hell should they not mend their evil ways.

Fudo is said to convert anger into compassion and cuts the ties of negativity and bad feelings and diverts the influence of demons to liberate us from suffering through the decipline of self-control.

His avowed duty is to bring forth the teachings of Dainichi–Nyorai, the central deity of Esoteric Buddhism to the world. He is also a combatant against evil with his compassion and immovable faith. Fudo is also revered as a guide for the deceased souls and is believed to oversee a funeral ceremony commonly held on the seventh day after passing.The characters are in Sanskrit and I am a disadvantage as to what they say, but it makes for an impressive charm.It is a small item but must have seemed quite powerful to its owner.Regards,Geoff
