Default 56th Infantry Division formation patch

Hi,

can you help me with this 56th Infantry Division formation sign. It seems that the black cat is not woven, but that it is cut out of a piece of black felt. What do you think, is it authentic? Thank in advance.

Best regards, Sebastijan

Cool 56th Infantry Division formation sign.

As the 56th Infantry Division served in Italy during WWII it's possibly a locally made badge, many original formation signs were made like this.

Not seen one made like that before but it does have the look of a locally made badge.
