RRA227 Posted August 5, 2020 #1 Posted August 5, 2020 Western Costume co. Union Made bustina. I have no idea from what movie. Rich A. in Pa.
irish Posted August 9, 2020 #2 Posted August 9, 2020 Neat.... you could see this worn in a movie with North Africa , Greece or Jugoslav settings. Some poor hapless Italian soldier just wanting to get back home to his family but unfortunately does not make it.
patches Posted September 8, 2020 #3 Posted September 8, 2020 Maybe it was used in an episode or two of The Rat Patrol
RRA227 Posted September 8, 2020 Author #4 Posted September 8, 2020 Maybe. I should look at my Rat Patrol cards. Rich A. in Pa.
patches Posted September 24, 2020 #5 Posted September 24, 2020 Whoahooo, I was reminded of the two Italian Soldiers caught by the platoon in A Walk in Sun right, they don't flee but essentially give themselves up, looked for a image to see what kind of headgear they were wearing, and found it, one of them is wearing a bustina with visor with the insignia on it, while one of them wears a bustina with visor with no insignia , wouldn't it be fantastic if it's the same exact cap we're seeing!
patches Posted September 27, 2020 #6 Posted September 27, 2020 Just found another candidate, while looking for M16/M18 German helmets used in WWII movies, I was redrected to images from the movie SAHARA, and it occurred to me that there was that Italian POW in it played by J Carrol Naish, so I went looking for him, and found these photos, so maybe it's this one here.
RRA227 Posted September 27, 2020 Author #7 Posted September 27, 2020 Thanks for the info and pics. It did come from a guy in California. Per internet days. He had a ad in Shotgun News. Rich A. in Pa.
