Ebay Saharianas...????

[NickG]

Here 2 Ebay Saharianas... no doubt questionable to me, but because my forte
is not really Italian (wanting to learn more) posting these for critique from the experts!!

(1) a Fascist Sahariana (I assume Black shirt unit) with interesting tailor label.
Sorry for the lousy image... Does it stand a chance ?
Sold for (only) $128 USD... Did I miss something good?

Interesting label

The next example just closed for a low $463 on Fleabay...
A (1942) collarless paratrooper tropical sahariana.
Could it be??? Thoughts?

First one: good GIL sahariana

Second one: poor Chinese fake (ex ebay shop PIRSCHEN), adorned with mostrine, buttons changed.
Beware! Most stuff from this seller is, at least, very questionable...

Thanks for sharing your knwoledge as usual. So a GIL (Italian Youth movement) leaders tunic. That was a good price! Because of the low price it fetched I had my doubts! The Chinese made paratrooper copy is scary! Re-buttoned and badged to look real!

Yes,and looking at our database there are a lot of differences on the originals:
different type of khaki cloth, different stitches and...different collar patches!Good probably for reenactors.PaoloM

I once had one like that. Thin fabric and ill fitting!
