Makes sense
I got an Afrikakorps group of cloth etc the other day so these were with it. There’s no information online that I can easily find about the Regie Marina? Kind regards Chay |

Both are Italian WW2.
Both are for the rank of Junior Chief (One of their Petty Officer equivalent ranks) The Hammer and lightening bolts = Electrician the Anchor and star is for Harbour Personnel. regards

I love the hammer. Presumably that's to fix electrical things when they don't work? I know the feeling!

Yes David!
Indeed the Italians make some very great machinery but it’s high maintenance! Kind regards Chay |
