British or commonwealth WW1 era middle East , Artillery , although the helmets are not quite right, so either a sculpting error or Italian`s 1930`s to early WW 1 , but not quite right for that either, so my money is on the Brits.
- The helmet is more DAK than anything else. But the sign on the front could indicate an Italian pattern, in which case the helmet shape is wrong. I cannot be a British WW1 or WW2 helmet, again the shape is wrong, and they had no sign on the front either.
- The glasses on the helmet are more WW2 than WW1 I think.
- The jacket is not the Italian Sahariana as the pockets were straight. These are pointy, indicating either a British or German pattern.
- The puttees are again tricky. DAK didn't generally wear puttees, exceptions of course always exist. Puttees are usually British or Italian.
- Italians wore very baggy trousers over the puttees. These seem straighter and look more British.
So, in short, I find myself a tad befuddled.... LOL
