Some better photos of the metal badges and the maker marks.

5th Division Badge made by F. M. Lorioli Milano-Roma. As marked on reverse
spinner

2nd Corps Badge in numbered 04546. No makers name.

Exemplary Drivers Badge with yellow backing for 3rd class. Red and Blue
backings would indicate 1st and 2nd class respectively. This badge is also made by F.M. Lorioli

3 Cap Eagles. the 2 brass badges are a bit crude as opposed to the silvered badge in center made by Gaunt. The brass pieces may be theater made. I believe the 5th Kresowa spent some time in Iraq prior to Italy.
