Click on the thumbnail images of the item in the description for a larger picture I have a good selection of WWII Italian fieldgear available. if you don't see it, ask.
This is what a young soldier Italian would have sent home to his family before he surrendered. Ok, ok, sorry, just kidding. I collect Italian militaria too, so I do have respect for the Royal Army. It is overall frame size 4.5X6.5 inch in size. It is designed to fold over as an envelope when not is use. The condition is very nice.

This is a perfect pair of Italian WWII Artillery Officer's dress shoulder straps. They are mint, perfect and ready for your collection. The original box has one side missing, but that does not harm the display. You will really like these!
This is a great item. It is made of classic Italian green canvas with the ever popular green leather. I holds all your stuff with lots of pockets, and my favorite, the large curved pocket on the front which is for your steel helmet. I tried it, and it works. It folds in half for transport. When folded it measures approx. 18X22 inches. It is in overall perfect condition. If you like Italian WWII uniforms, you should have one! I do.
This is the standard EM Italian backpack; which is the one that the blanket and poncho was attached to. It was worn in both Europe and in Africa. All straps & buckles are present, as well as the shoulder straps. Overall it is very nice.
This, is as the title indicates, is a very good example of the WWII standard mess kit. I have never seen a dated example.
These were issued with the mess kit. It is made of unpainted aluminum, and is original and perfect. Spoon not included.
These were issued together with a fork. It has the typical RE for Royal Army. These are a tougher field item to find.
These are a bit tougher t to find than the backpack. They were handy to use after the war, and consequently were used up after the fighting was over. It is in nice and original condition. Thes front strap are the canvas version. It can be worn as a backpack, which the later ones were not.
These were often carried without a frog or carrier. The Italians used a universal frog for the shovel ax and pick. The whole thing is painted Italian Army green, and overall it is in exc. condition, with only several tiny worm holes in the wood.
This is the standard universal tool frog, which accommodates a shovel, ax or pick with a bayonet in front. These are tough to find, and is appropriate for the above listed E tool.
This is a good example of the canteen. The cover is still solid, and the strap is correct too. It is an actual WWII one, and not postwar.
These have become much more desirable over the last several years. It is the last version worn with a frog, and is made not to fold. It is in nice functional condition, with just a small dent in the scabbard.
This is a nice un-issued piece. the filter, which is dated 4-1941 has the cap and plug still attached. The mask is perfect, size II, and the bag is a little dirty, but complete, functional, and has no problems. Overall this is a very good example.
This is the rare tropical version of the common camo one we see so often. It is still nice and dark with original metal buttons and sewn corners. When Italy surrendered the Germans shipped mass amounts military material out, to the Reich. Much of it ended up in the Czech Republic. It is there that this tropical shelter half was bought by one of my buddies. Overall it is a very nice example; you will not be disappointed!
This one is from an old collection built in the 1960s.The original owner bought this helmet from a WWII vet along with some other Italian items. It is made of black leather with a natural leather liner. Overall it shows some age and use, but is solid and sound. WWII Examples are tough to find.
This is a standard item for the black shirts field uniform. It is nice and sound, and original. It is the first one I have had. It shows some age and use. It is from an old collection in Northern Michigan. Complete with the original tassel.
Are you a nerd?? If so, this is a perfect hat for everyday use. Imagine how you will look at the beach in this hat with your dad's bathing suit and your pocket pen protector!! This is the field cap style, made of the Italian Air Force wool, size 59. It is only the second one I have seen, and overall in very nice condition.
I am not sure of the color designations, but there are some SGT, CPL and one PVT sleeve rank patches. All are WWII, backed in Italian green wool and are mint.
