Italian 2 Lt Visor - Engineer
I’ve had this for a number of year and don’t think I’ve ever posted it as I couldn’t find any photos. So pulled it out and took a few quick shots this evening
Its a WW2 2nd Lt Army Engineer/Sapper visor made by S.A. La Classica Abbigliamento Militare (Classical Military Clothing), Torino.
I really like the look of it as the stiffener was removed to give it that floppy look.
I don’t profess to know much about Italian visors but I think it is the later "Imperial" style with a more German style sharper angled brim and higher crown which was introduced around 1939.
Unfortunately it is missing the Unit number but if you look closely at the photo you can see the outline of a number. Not sure what it is? Any thoughts? 8, 9, 3?
