Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
These original Russian Aeroflot gold pilot uniform buttons are genuine Cold War surplus.
Soviet Aviation Heritage
These original 22mm metal buttons served as the primary front closure for Soviet civil aviation pilot tunics and heavy overcoats. Featuring the iconic winged propeller emblem, this insignia was the official symbol of Aeroflot, the USSR's state-owned airline. They offer collectors and reenactors a genuine piece of Cold War history, manufactured under strict state specifications.
Military-Grade Engineering
Built for durability, each button is made with a solid metal face and a robust steel backplate. The reverse side features a heavy-duty, soldered wire shank loop designed to withstand high tension on thick wool garments. Many pieces still carry the stamped Mosshtamp manufacturer mark alongside the year of production, proving their origin from the famous Moscow Stamping Factory.
Practical Modern Use
Measuring 22mm in diameter, these buttons are ideal for historical uniform restorations or adding a unique vintage element to custom fashion projects. Their bright gold-coloured finish provides an eye-catching detail for modern blazer jackets, bags, or workwear. Being genuine surplus, they deliver a level of durability and character that modern civilian closures cannot match.
Complete your uniform restoration project or add unique Cold War history to your wardrobe with these original Aeroflot buttons.
This item was used by the Russian Airforce during the Early Cold War (1947–1960) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
