Has someone ever encpnterd an original italaincamo overall

[Spanish Freiwillige]

I remember I once saw an italian caom overal like the ones the J used in Normandy in the Caen memorial, the fabric looke ok yet someone put a repluca arm eagle that made it look terribel.

Has anyone ever seen an original or has one in a collection???

Jamie,



There is a picture of a Jagdpanther "early version" in paris of a SS division, on that jagdpanther there is a crew member with a overall in italian camouflage.


Cheers,

Just curious if these combis were factory made or just field level made.Does anybody knows? Never seen an orig.piece...

I'd be willing to bet that these were field-made. The only factory garment using the Italian camouflaged material was the late war anorak.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

there is a chance, I have only seen perios phots, which will no reveal wether they are filed amde or factory, yet i have never encountered an original in a colection, only the one at the caen memeorial and dont know wether it is original or not, the material looked ok, yet the arm eagle was definetly bad!!!

hello,

i would agree with Mr Wirtz's point of wiew.

just a precision,
the pics taken in Paris showing what looks like an italian camo non regular coverall are from members of I/SS-Pz-Rgt 1,
and the tank is a Panther G,
not a jagdpanther ;
there is another pic with same man (with a regular camo coverall) reading a newspaper ("Pariser zeintung") wich illustrate it clearly.

I just wonder if any of these survived??

I have seen photos of Italian RSI troops wearing these ,but most likely Italian made and of a different pattern. There is also a famous picture of SS troops preparing to surrender in a Milan Hotel and I believe an Officer is wearing Italian camo overalls.

If I remember correctly you can see it on one of Robin Lumsden's book.

It would seem as though the chap in the foreground,a s well as the one to his left in the background are both wearing Italian camo coveralls. Whether they're factory made, I can't tell.
