question More bits from my late father's collection for ID and valuation
GeePig replied to g0ozs's topic in Weapons/Accessories
OK, so just done what I should have done first, ask wifie. The KGB document looks for some deputy, but it is unused and could be real of fake. The other one is a Russian Communist party (KITCC) membership document, with his work history on page 19 while on another page is the validation stamps for each time his membership needed renewing - and this looks genuine. trevor -
question More bits from my late father's collection for ID and valuation
GeePig replied to g0ozs's topic in Weapons/Accessories
My Russian is not good (=awful), but that first document has KGB written on it. The other is some kind of registration document. I don't know about being replicas, they look fairly genuine to me - flashy cheap leatherette-ish cover and cheap paper inside, de rigeur, comrade. Wifie had half a drawer full of such documents and plastic medal boxes which we chucked out, a common fate - I did not try to stop her as she remembered those times. trevor -

question Mystery objects/ what are these parts
GeePig replied to Zero-Five-Two's topic in MV Chatter
Do these fit the access holes in the top of the tanks, and are they for some kind of measuring operation? trevor Or are they 'moon discs' for the, ahem, custom version of the tanker... -

If that is real canvas, could you not try to dye it? Or at least, practice on a piece of scrap material? trevor
