Original WWII Fascist Italian Political Officer Visor Cap

Original Item: Only One Available: Absolutely gorgeous visor cap for Fascist Italian political officer. The front eagle badge is a thick silver bullion weave that is shockingly rich and deep. This is amazing work with a lovely, still bright, red wool backing.

The interior of the cap has a supple leather sweatband, perfect stitching and a clean sweatband undamaged both inside and out. There is no size label present but the visor is approximately 56cm. There is a white wire hanger inserted to give the cap shape. Really a terrific cap that would fit into the most advanced Fascist collection. Also features a maker mark that reads:

The Italian Royal Army was reformed in 1861 and lasted until 1946. The Royal Army started with the unification of Italy (Risorgimento) and the formation of the Kingdom of Italy (Regno d'Italia). It ended with the dissolution of the monarchy. The Royal Army was preceded by the individual armies of the various independent Italian states and was followed by the Italian Army (Esercito Italiano) of the Italian Republic (Repubblica Italiana).
