Original WWII Italian Royal Infantry Colonel Officer's Dress Peaked Visor Cap by Unione Militare of Verona

Original Item: Only One Available: This is an excellent condition genuine WWII Italian 5 bronze band strap visor hat, indicating the rank of Colonel. The front of the cap has a lovely hand-embroidered bullion badge, showing a crown over crossed rifles with a cross device in the center, the insignia of the Italian Infantry.

The cap is in outstanding condition with the visor and chinstrap both in good shape, the latter being held in place by two Italian Infantry buttons. The Colonnello (Colonel) cap band is in great shape with some staining, and the cap is virtually free of moth nips that we can see.

The underside of the visor is in good order with just crazing of the leather. The interior shows a gorgeous retained sweatband. The celluloid sweat shield is intact but torn in the center, with the maker’s information reading:

UNIONE MILITARE
VERONA

The visor is a great example and is roughly a Size 6 ¾.

One of the best Italian visors we have had. Ready for display!
