Italian M1934 peaked cap

[OldSteel]

Morning to all,
here is a recent acquisition, it is a private purchase example of Italian Regio Esercito peaked cap M34, pattern with flat top; belonged to Medical Captain in WW2 period.
It is in excellent condition, I hope it is interesting.

Greetings

Beautiful!!! IMHO an under rated area for collectors. (at least here in the US)

I was lucky enough to pick up two a few years back. The dealer had many more but I didn't have the $ otherwise I would have bought more.

Thanks Michael,
I believe you're right, but my opinion does not count, because I'm Italian and I belong to a veterans family; I have a large collection of complete uniforms and Italian equipments of WW2 period, but I just posted this, giving priority to Allies or German materials (which also interest me a lot), for the reason that you say, because I think that the Italian militaria could be of interest to a limited audience outside of my Country............ but you encourage me...when I can post some very interesting pieces.

For example, the ones you see are all Italian Officer uniform M34 in the various versions......


for not to mention the rest........

my wife is very angry about the space that I occupy at home!!

See you soon

Yes Roberto I agree...that's why I added "in the US". We don't see much Italian militaria here, probably because veterans brought much less of it back have more limited direct engagement.

You have a wonderful collection. Looks fantastic !!!! Your wife shouldn't be too upset, you've been allocated closet space....in kicked my son out of his bedroom and took it over...lol

Congrats Michael fantastic collection!!
even if you only have a few Italian items, in return you have very German material of quality, then I appreciate very much the order and the beautiful display of your collection, unfortunately I can not expose my collection all together because it is stored in different places of the house.....
