Life jacket for review

[Baska]

Hi,

I found this life jacket in an estate of a german paratrooper.

Who used such a life jacket ? The Germans ?

Although it has got some similarities with the various types of KM life jackets that I've got in my collection, I must say it is not a model I have seen before.
But others may have.... Just wait for some other responses..

Agree with Martin, never seen one like this before, even in period pictures

life jacket

Hi this is the simplest italian air force model, made by PIRELLI in WW2
The rubber tube shoul be marked wiuth this maker name on it!
Italian model hadn't the Co2 bottle, but only the mouthpiece to inflate them.
You can see it on my book , published by Schiffer :

The jacket is marked on the rubber tube with the PIRELLI brand. I didn't see it before.

Thanks !
