Good day LL,
Agree with Jo, top left and bottom are Italian. Top left is generic badge from about late 60's to present, also worn by staff of the Parachute School. The bottom is from the Second Parachute Regiment "Tarquinia". This badge dates from about 1975 (when all units except the school adopted it) until 1993, when the regiment was renamed the 187th "Folgore" Parachute Regiment. The insert would have then changed to "187'. Other para units would have their number on the insert. As for the top right, agree it's not French. Does not match the Metro Para or Troupe de Marine Para beret badges. I would suggest that it come from a former French colony that based its para badges on the French design. Ian B
