FROM THE WWII COLLECTION:
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE
WWII WW2 PHOTO OF (2) YOUNG RUSSIAN SOLDIERS, ON LEAVE, POSING FOR THE CAMERA.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER MAY VERY WELL HAVE BEEN ANOTHER SOLDIER, AND FRIEND FROM THEIR UNIT WHO TOOK THE PHOTO.
PHOTOGRAPH IS GUARANTEED ORIGINAL WWII.
PHOTO SIZE >
3 ½” INCHES WIDE
4 ¾” INCHES HEIGHT
ORIGINAL BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPH.
AGE/COLORATION HAS FADED SLIGHTLY.
THE PHOTO HAS TAKEN ON THAT CLASSIC VINTAGE
“SEPIA” TONE “REDDISH BROWN” COLORATION,
ASSOCIATED WITH, AND SEEN
WITH ORIGINAL
WWII ERA VINTAGE PHOTOGRAHS.
PHOTO IS FROM MY DAD’S WWII COLLECTION, COMPRISED OF DOZENS OF ORIGINAL WWII ERA PHOTOGRAPHS HE COLLECTED FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
MY DAD SAID THAT FROM ITS ORIGINAL COLLECTOR
HE PURCHASED IT FROM, WE BELIEVE IT TO BE
2 YOUNG RUSSIAN SOLDIERS FROM ONE OF THE GUARDS RIFLE CORPS. … POSSIBLY EVEN A UNIT
OF THE 2
ND
GUARDS ARMY… WE’RE NOT SURE..
THE 2
ND
GUARDS ARMY FOUGHT AT STALINGRAD.
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE WWII PHOTOGRAPH
DUE TO THE RARE EARLY WAR RUSSIAN WINTER
(M35) COATS THE RECRUITS ARE SEEN WEARING.
THE 2 YOUNG RECRUITS WHO LOOK BARELY 18,
APPEAR TO BE WEARING THE MUCH MORE RARE
RUSSIAN (M35) M1935 PADDED, HEAVY WEIGHT
COTTON DOUBLE BREASTED WINTER SHORT COAT.
THE (M35) WAS A VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION COAT MADE ONLY BETWEEN 1939-1941 & ISSUED IN
VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES.
IT’S LIMITED ISSUE TO CERTAIN RUSSIAN UNITS,
WHETHER IT WAS GUARDS UNITS OR SPECIFIC
INFANTRY OR OTHER UNITS MAY ACTUALLY HELP TO BETTER PINPOINT
THE UNIT POSSIBILITIES OF THE (2) YOUNG RUSSIAN
SOLDIERS SEEN IN THIS RARE PHOTOGRAPH.
THEY WEAR THE CLASSIC LEATHER BELT & STAR BUCKLE, AND ARE SEEN WEARING THE CLASSIC LAYERED
“TARPAULIN” WATER RESISTANT “KIRZA” JACK BOOTS.
THEIR HEAD WEAR IS THE CLASSIC WOOL “USHANKA”
WINTER CAP WITH RED STAR BADGE.
TAKEN DURING THE WINTER MONTHS.
THIS ORIGINAL PHOTO IS BELIEVED TO HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN TAKEN IN THE SMALL TOWN OF “NYEN” OUTSIDE OF STALINGRAD, ACCORDING TO MY DAD’S NOTES FROM THE PREVIOUS COLLECTOR .. BUT WE’RE NOT SURE…
THE ORIGINAL PHOTO ITSELF HAS SOME MINOR
CREASING IN IT.
IT HAS (1) SMALL CREASE TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND (1) CENTER CREASE TOP LEFT DOWN THRU THE CENTER OF THE 2 SOLDIERS TO BOTTOM RIGHT, AND A SMALL
CREASE THRU THE LEFT BOOT OF THE SOLDIER ON
THE LEFT, WITH
OTHER MINOR CREASING …
AND A FEW TINY EDGE TEARS…
BUT THE PHOTO REMAINS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR BEING OVER 75 YEARS OLD.
WE BELIEVE THE PHOTO MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN SOMETIME DURING THE WINTER OF 1943 …
BUT IT’S JUST A GUESS.
WE’VE TRIED TO SHOW THE PHOTO AS BEST WE
COULD WHILE DEALING WITH THE GLARE OF
THE CAMERA OFF THE GLASS.
PHOTO IS MOUNTED IN A BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUED
CLASSIC RUSSIAN STYLE FRAME.  FRAME WAS
APPARENTLY MADE TO RESEMBLE A VINTAGE ORTHODOX OR MUSCOVITE WOOD DESIGN.
WE BELIEVE THE FRAME TO BE MADE OF AN
ANTIQUED WOOD PLASTER COMPOSITE.
LOOKS VERY OLD….
CLASSIC CARVED WOOD DESIGN STYLE.
IT HAS A BEAUTUFUL CLASSIC RUSSIAN LOOK
AND THE PHOTO LOOKS GREAT IN IT.
“HAS THAT CLASSIC WWII 1940’s ERA AGED LOOK!”
“A PERFECT PHOTO & FRAME MATCH!”

THIS IS A GREAT GLASS FRAMED ORIGINAL
WWII
PHOTO OF (2) YOUNG RUSSIAN RECRUITS THAT
HUNG IN MY DAD’S WWII COLLECTION FOR OVER 20 YEARS, POSED WITH RUSSIAN UNIFORM & EQUIPMENT PIECES, AND A NAGANT PISTOL AND A
PPSH41 SUB MACHINE GUN, THE CLASSIC SUB MACHINE GUN OF THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER OF WWII.
IT WILL MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY
WWII RUSSIAN COLLECTION FOR PHOTO DISPLAY.
THIS HEAVY CARVED WOOD LOOKING VINTAGE RUSSIAN STYLE FRAME IS VERY TYPICAL OF CLASSIC RUSSIAN WOOD ARCHITECTURE OR WHAT WOULD BE REFERRED TO AS EARLY RUSSIAN “KIEVAN RUS” STYLE.
THIS STYLE CAME TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A DOMINANT
STYLE OF RUSSIAN WOOD & BUILDING ARCHITECTURE,
WHO’S BEGINNINGS WOULD EVENTUALLY EVOLVE
INTO SUCH MAGNIFICENT RUSSIAN ARCHITECTURE
AS THAT SEEN AT RED SQUARE IN MOSCOW,
“
Красная площадь
,
Krasnaya ploshcha”
“RED SQUARE”
“PRIDE OF THE SOVIET UNION “USSR”
RED SQUARE DISPLAYS CLASSIC RUSSIAN WOOD & STONE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS SUCH AS THAT OF
ST. BASIL’S CATHEDRAL,
THE CATHEDRAL OF VASILY,
AND
THE SPASSKAYA TOWER.
RUSSIAN WOOD ARCHITECTURE IN EVERYTHING FROM
PICTURE FRAMES, TO VILLAGE CHURCHES, TO
THE FAMED WWII CITIES LIKE STALINGRAD ARE A MIX
OF RUSSIAN ORTHODOX, KEIVAN RUS, EARLY AND LATER MUSCOVITE,  IMPERIAL CZARIST,
MODERNIST LENIN, AND STALINIST.
FOR CENTURIES, THOUSANDS OF RUSSIAN
VILLAGES & COMMUNES WERE BEACONS OF TRADITIONAL RUSSIAN ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGNS IN
THE HOMES THEY BUILT, THE CHURCHES THEY BUILT,
THEIR FAMED WOOD CARVINGS & FURNITURE, AND
PICTURE FRAMES …. AND MADE WITH EITHER VIVID MIXES OF COLOR OR SOLEMN MUTED & HEAVY DARK COLORS OF GREYS, GOLDS, & BLACK, LIKE THIS
WONDERFUL RUSSIAN STYLE ANTIQUED FRAME PHOTO
LISTED FOR SALE.
