This tent is in real nice for being WW2 era it’s a Russian made original piece. The picture of it is the exact tent & it looks kinda wonky because it wasn’t set up perfectly. I myself set it up in about 40 minutes it’s actually easy to do. This tent is nice it’s not moldy or ripped or moth I’d say it’s a 7.9 out of 10.
