Opinions on Sahariana

[Ariete]

Hello all,

I just received this Sahariana today from a fellow Italian collector from Canada. (not many from these parts of the woods)

The tunic itself looks right to me. It has the `been there look` The material is very light. Looks the same type of material as the colonial khaki shelter ponchos or even closely resembles if not the same material found on the 2nd pattern italian pith helmet.
Your opinions are most welcome.

going through the sahariana i found this epaulette in one of the pockets any idea of its origin?

[Paolo Marzetti]

IMO the shown sahariana looks fine and of WWII period.There were several
types of Saharianas.THis one maybe issued to an Officer.PaoloM

[Sparviero]

This is a pre-war model. Together with the Modello 1940 they were issued to officers only.

Greetings,
