sorry to say that but according to what i learnt on the italian forum a few weeks ago, the canteen you display on the mannequin is postwar. Color of the cover makes all the difference...
Thanks for your input...note that 3 mannequins have canteens, which one are you talking about? The large capacity one or the other? Thanks Nick

Thanks“Karate aims to build character, improve human behavior and cultivate modesty: it does not, however, guarantee it”

I was talking about the small one with kakhi cover....
according to what italian members told me a few weeks ago, covers of WWII italian canteens should be grey-green or rust color.

Hello,
first thing: excuse for my bad english!!!
Very nice display Nick!!
About the San Marco Marine, I'm sorry but in my opinion the ammo pouch are not WW2; I think they are a 1958 mod.
Here is my Regia Marine tropical uniform, in the first you can see the ammo pouch for sailors (there was also like these but with 3 pouch that you can see on the historical image that you have posted); the second is for sub-officiers (is it correct word? In italian sottufficiale).
Best regards

Yes could be Canada... The caption said England but they could be wrong...it also read German prisoners.... I don't think so!!!
