    Luftwaffe wool Italian style cap??

    Is this perhaps a Italian design Luftwaffe wool made Bustina cap??
    Airforce ww2?
    I realize its not German but Gerard had something similar which was osttruppen related... No RBnr's in this one...and its visored...
    So Italian manufactured for sure, but wool sure looks Luftwaffe! Thoughts? Perhaps an RSI (1943-45) cap for Italians in Luftwaffe Flak units?? Thanks Nick

        German use

        Germans did occasionaly wear Italian field caps, like this DAK prisoner, being POW processed by the US Army. (might be an Italian translator in DAK service...) Note LW tunic! Nick

            Hallo Nick, that cap not isit for Lw Troops and no for RSI air forces that cap was used in itali during the 60' and 70 yeas, looks like a m.42 style cap but not is it one on that in fact not have (so never have got) the cloth (in the same wool cloth) chinstrap on the visor. The cap in the original pic is if a side cap m.42 for colonial troops, that is it a troops model made in Olona cloth like the saharian's tunics.
            Usually italian air forces after the war used equipments what looks like the old types used during the WW2 but what of new production.

              Hi!
              As Lafitte stated ... it's a post war italian air force cap.

              Cheers, Frank

                Hallo Frank, yes, is it a beatiful cap, (i like very much the greyblu colour) but unlucky was used only in post war era, during the RSI era are know some m.44 caps (with the button on the front) in grey blu cotton cloth, (summer cloth) that was made from famous Brambilla manufacturs.
