Italian Badges
Hi Gents,
A couple of unusual Italian badges hoping that someone can give me info on them. I am aware that one looks to be Carbinieri and the other "Infantry" but in white metal........... Thanks Kevin |

Hi Kevin, silver was pre 1933, but it is not standard infantry. It has a chain across the base and the flaming bomb in the center. The chain appears on early motorised badges and the bomb with a tall flame was adopted by Dragoons post 1934, so at a guess pre 1933 motorised dragoons, but this is only a guess Italian insignia can get quite complexed during the inter war period, I have numerous variants for tanks during this period and I'm still not 100% about some of them, hope this helps and best wishes Mike P.S I put together the presumed 3rd tankie lot so I can send you a pic if you want.

Thanks for your detailed assessment, I also posted them on The Wehrmacht Awards forum and a collector from Italy said they were inter war and thought they were both original, so result. I would be delighted to see your 3RTR lot so yes send the pic. Stay safe Kevin |
