i believe it's russian.............dave

thanks for the info.

Any idea when and where it was used?

seen worn 1980's afganistan

thank you!

Is it totally sterile inside? No markings or sizes etc? It looks like the camo pattern I used to see mentioned for Border Guards in the late 80s I believe.

This is a KGB border guard Spetsodezhda Type I camo uniform. "Spetsodezhda" translates to "special purpose uniform" and this was issued from 1981-82. The actual pattern was known as "stair-step" pattern for obvious reasons. These uniforms were also issued to airborne units subordinated to the KGB border guards and worn with the blue and white striped telnyashka.
