Dear Friends, I do not know anything about Italian uniforms, and I need your help. A friend have been offered me this jacket from an Italian officer of artillery. According to your opinion, is original II War ?.
Thanks in advance

I know very little about Italian items, but I am not aware of Italian Officers wearing a Battledress/Ike jacket style blouse in WW2. Hopefully other more knowledgeable members will comment?
Cheers, Ade.
It doesn't look like any Italian WWII jackets that I am familiar with. I would pass on it sir.

Not a W.W.2 Jacket. Maybe slightly post-war. Single red flame is garrison or teratorial troops in W.W.2. Rich A. in Pa.

Knowledge is power, guard it well.
I subscribed to help with the italian uniform question. The italian army started to use shorter jackets AFTER WW2, using english-style uniforms. This is not a WW2 uniform, and not an artillery uniform too.
Italian artillery used golden/yellow trims, not red.
You can see an italian artillery WW2 uniform here:
The Collector's Guild
Notice the trims, and the distinctive "crossed guns" that are still used in the italian artillery badges nowadays.
I hope it helps, if you have questions about italian uniforms of the last century, feel free to ask.
Dear Friends, thank you very much for your opinions, and your help.
All the best
The jacket belongs to a Sottotenente Medico (ltn. Medical Doctor).
Look at trhe red trimming under the little star used only by Commander Officers and till 1980 (about) by Medical Officers.
Correct, it is post war.
Cheers, Ade.
