Is this a Russian naval uniform?
Upvote:7
Yes - this is a Russian Imperial naval uniform that was introduced during the 1890s. The lack of shoulder boards indicates a sailor - NCOs would have worn insignia.
одежду матроса составляет фланелевая синяя свободная рубаха, доходящая до пояса и опускающаяся вниз напуском; ворот рубахи вырезан спереди, спину прикрывает широкий воротник; под этой рубахой надевается форменная полотняная, такого же покроя, белого цвета с синим отложным воротником, выпускаемым поверх фланелевого; на тело надевалась тельная вязанная фуфайка, которая видна в открытый ворот рубах
The sailor's clothing consists of a loose blue flannel overshirt that hangs overlapping past the belt. The collar is open in the front and a wide collar covers the back. Underneath, a white linen shirt of the same cut with a turn-down collar worn over the flannel. Underneath is a knit sweatshirt, visible through the open collar.
The stripes on the collar and sweatshirt were introduced even earlier (1882 and 1874 respectively).
See this image from the Yaroslavl museum depicting a sailor of the Baltic Fleet Crew, taken in 1915.
In that era, the ribbon indicated which command the sailor belonged to. The last letter on the cap is hard to read but it's most likely a П - making the full text an abbreviation of Ревельский флотский полуэкипаж (Ravel naval half-crew), based in what is today Tallinn, Estonia.
However, this formation was renamed to Ревельская флотская отдельная рота (Ravel fleet detached company) in 1908 during the naval reforms following the disastrous Russo-Japanese War, suggesting that either your photo is older than 1915 or the subject is dressed in a discontinued uniform, perhaps a keepsake. The Reval fleet half-crew existed under that name since at least in 1891 when Matvej Gerardi was assigned as its commanding officer (but likely existed under that name even before then) so it predates the uniform and doesn't narrow down the time window any further.
