Description
You are bidding on a BEAUTIFUL set of WW2 Royal Italian Army Guanti da Paracadutista (Paratrooper Gloves)! These gloves were issued for airborne troops and designed for use during parachute operations, training, and field service.
Italian paratroopers, most notably the Regio Esercito and Folgore units, were among the most highly trained forces of the Italian military during the Second World War. Specialized equipment such as gloves was produced to meet the demands of airborne service, including aircraft handling, parachute deployment, and ground combat operations under varied conditions.
Made of high quality black leather this is a TEXTBOOK example, exactly as shown on page 383 of the book, “Paracadutisti Di Italia 1938-1969”, Volume 2 by Massimo di Martino. All the original coloring remains, and there are NO tears or damage! Some slight marks and wear from storage, but nothing that detract. As they were stored in perfect condition, the leather is still VERY SOFT and STRONG! Features prominent “3” inside one of the gloves, indicating SMALL in size. Italian paratrooper gloves are far rarer than German paratrooper gloves. 100% matching, they would make a PERFECT for any collection or display!
