Bersaglieri seems to have briefly used this one, the example here I posted is I believe is in a, or one of, an Italian Army Museum. In 1875, some Bersaglieri and seven men from the 8th Bersaglieri Regiment from the Milan barracks participated in a cycle race with heavy (over 30 kg) wooden and steel, bone shaker velocipede bikes. The ride was terribly hard and officers were forbidden to be seen riding a boneshaker. The bone shaker velocipedes had pedals, wooden wheels with a steel rim and were most uncomfortable to ride. In 1878, some bone shaker velocipedes took part in the large army maneuvers in the Marche region in Italy (Ancona) but they were still viewed with scepticism by the army authorities. -

Picked up off a clothing rack at a local outdoor antique show. Pants are an HBT material, the jacket is the polished Italian cotton. -

I was able to decipher a few of the writings. Presented to Suzuki Torao. Lots of family and friends signatures and a few sayings that tie him to the Navy Special Attack Squadrons. -

late-war BeVo-type Jacquard looms were used to produce SS insignia with a distinct "blocky" or "negative reverse" appearance. This specific look is often associated with the high-volume manufacturing of insignia in the final years of World War II, where the technique changed to speed up production. These insignia utilized a "floating weave" method, where the warp threads for the pattern were not raised for "shedding" but were instead carried invisibly on the underside of the fabric. When viewed from the back, this weaving method produced a reverse, "negative" image of the insignia (e.g., white threads on a black background with a distinct blocky structure. This was a typical characteristic of late-war machine-woven (BeVo) cap and collar insignia -
