The NKVD used shoulder boards on their uniforms from 1943 to the end of the war. I have some Battle Honors miniatures, some of which have 1 shoulder board and others of which have 2. Is 1 shoulder board correct or a sculpting mistake? Does it represent a pre-1943 period? |

Two shoulder boards is correct. No shoulder boards before 1943. |

Both "Uniforms of the Soviet Union 1918-1945" by David Webster & Chris Nelson along with "The Soviet Soldier of World War Two" by Philippe Rio confirm what Begemot stated. There was also an insignia NKVD troops wore on their lower sleeve which was abolished in 1943. |
