Angles can be funny in photos, but other photos from the event pictured above confirmed that my fez was the one that is pictured worn by Mussolini. Mine came out of the West Point museum, having been loaned to the museum by the family from whom I bought it. It was taken from Mussolini's bedroom at the end of the war - quite a neat story - it is a great hat with great provenance. This hat you are displaying seems original, but it is not one of Mussolini's hats for various reasons. The best guy for Italian militaria is Neil Hardin of Wolfe and Hardin, who can tell you exactly what you have (I'm in no way an expert in Italian hats - I just got lucky and scored the "Top Hat" so to speak).Attached Files
