WW2 Italian Infantry Officer's Bustina.

Quality WW2 Italian officer's Bustina for an officer of the rank of 2nd lieutenant in the VI Grenadier Regiment. Fine sage green cloth body with ear flaps retained by snap fasteners with bullion rank and regimental insignia. Blue silk lining with leather sweatband with a fold out peak, again retained by snap fasteners which shows fresh colours which is in contrast to the body which displays wear and slight fading. Manufacturer's details were probably present under a celluloid diamond in the lining crown, now absent. An excellent example of a bustina displaying various features which were expensive options at the time.
