HELP WW2 M41 field jacket from italian front

Hello gentlemen,



I found this M41 jacket. and I would like to know your opinion about this item. Does it look like a good jacket? fake or real? it would have been used by Brazil in Italy.


thanks

Certainly an original M1941 field jacket.. and I like the patches and (from these photographs), their application. I would say it has a very good chance, though far more detailed images would be helpful.
A very rare piece, as you will know, and one that I would be very happy to add to my own collection.
All the best,
Rob

Any ideas on the 'HDM' marking?

I believe the marking is the initials of the name of the soldier who used it
