[Garth Thompson]

Beautiful examples of some VERY rare uniforms . It is nice to see examples of rare militaria other than FJ, SS and US airborne being appreciated.

Paolo,


Then the Italian camouflage items as well I think.


Cheers,

Of course, even if,except the RSI period where the use of the camo clothing
has been very cahotic also in the paratroopers field, the use and the production during the pre-armistice period has been very scarce.
Cheers, PaoloM
Below a very scarce RSI camo suit issued to the X^ NP.A bit faded, but good.

A scarce Italian WWII M.41 para grey-green wool beret and the khaki cloth version
of a paratrooper of the Nembo Division.

They were issued the same for Officers,W.O.s, N.C.O.s, and O.R.s.

@Darwin:Not easy to answer. However you've to bear in mind that every
Italian WWII para item is rarer and scarcest than the German FJ ones, so
you can imagine its value.

I am agree with Paolo on this, more rare than anyelse German FJ gourment.
Not to compete with you but I'd like show my RSI - A.P.A.R. tunic as well.
Paolo, thanks again to share us these gems, you have the best FJ collection I ever seen, hope to see soon your German FJ collection too.

Luca, you know I've just expressed my positive impression on your tunic
in other Italian forum.Great the collar patches issued on 1944 together
with the special APAR brevet arm patch, O.R.s version.
I'd be pleased however to see the rear view of your tunic, just to understand
if it has been made by a taylor later on 1944 or at the beginning of 1944 with
the first batches of these uniforms issued to the O.R.s or N.C.O.s of the RSI
para units.
Ciao PaoloM

PS: we'll see later for the German FJ stuff....not easy to take the pictures of
everything.
