> I bought this a few years ago from someone who claimed it was standard Soviet sniper issue for Afganistan in the 1980's. I've never seen a pattern like it. There is Russian writing stamped in blue on the various pieces and several small tabs where it looks like one would attach foliage or netting. The set includes pants, shirt, beret and face mask. Anyone seen this type before?

Hi Berg,

What you have is a 5 piece suit made in ST. Petersburg. A tropical Pattern, for MVD(ministry of internal affairs). It's a KLMK pattern(a stair step style). Issued in 1992-93 for the Spetsnaz in the MVD.

This info. per Dennis Desmond's book on Russian camo page
134. It's very cool stuff. Light weight and ment as a outer
garment but worn mostly by it's self. I have a set also,
and it came with all it's goodies. Looks nice with the SVD
there, and the Bi-pod too. PJJ
