                Tunic of an A.D.R.A. (Arditi Distruttori Regia Aeronautica) Ltn (1942).
                The owner took part in four missions of the ADRA in North Africa, accompanying four different squads on the drop zones by a SM82 plane.I had the great luck, several years
                ago to obtain from the widow some uniforms, that I've honoured with
                an article on the Italian magazine Uniformi & Armi.

                          What is the value of this kind of jump jacket, i see many German Para jump jacket for sale here in the US but never one Italian so i' curios to know if any has sold in Italy and what was the price or value.

                                Not easy to answer. I know only fifteen people in the world collecting Italian
                                para WWII stuff.Only three of them have an original smock(perspirable cloth
                                with two colours overprinted on the grey) like the one shown.On the contrary I know a lot of people having one or more than one FJ camo and not camo jump bonesack:for example I've four of them.In my opinion the Italian camo jump smocks are rarer than the German ones, but it depends from the market and from the request-The fact is that all the camo smocks of this type disappeared after WWII! Ciao, PaoloM
