Hi Ryan....This might attract more attention on the Armed Forces Board. You could ask a moderator to move it for you for a more informed response.

Italian Army WW1 era

"Modello 1909 Giubba (tunic): These were made in "Grigio-Verde"
(gray-green) wool which were loosely cut, single-breasted with fly front,
pointed cuffs, and had stand-up type collar. These did not have external pockets but did have two side vents that could be fastened by two buttons. The most distinctive feature of this tunic was the padded shoulder rolls built into it.  The collars of these tunics will have the silver or white five-pointed star with the colored mostrine (collar tab) of the Brigata Brescia, 19 & 20 Reggimentos. (purple/black/purple)"
