Original Italy WWII Royal Italian Regia Aeronautica Air Force Officers’ Visor
-
Original Item: Only One Available. The Italian Royal Air Force (Regia Aeronautica Italiana) was the name of the air force of the Kingdom of Italy. It was established as a service independent of the Royal Italian Army from 1923 until 1946. In 1946, the monarchy was abolished and the Kingdom of Italy became the Italian Republic, whereupon the name of the air force changed to Aeronautica Militare.
The visor is in good condition with the condition reflecting signs of consistent service wear. The dark wool exterior is in excellent condition with very minor, if any moth nips present but does have staining present. The officers insignia on the front consists of a bullion Air Force insignia with laurels, eagle and crown at the top. The black visor on the front is in fair condition with cracks in the finish and the green pressed paper underside being cracked extensively with sections missing.
The inside lining is a lovely age toned and minor stained cream colored padded lining with
a thin brown leather sweatband which has minor damage and thread loss present. The maker’s information is no longer visible.
This is a great example that comes more than ready for further research and display!
