Milan being in Italy was unlikely to make badges for the allies until late into the second war!

Someone is confident and is bidding! Interesting to see how many fall for this one, of course it may just be a space filler!

The Milan maker did make badges for the allies, polish US and British troops but not Popski badges

Hi,
Peter says that BOMISA made badges for the allies.
Popskis ended their days in Italy, so could they not have made badges for them?
Is this pattern a well known repro and if such when was it made?
If repro, have many copies of this type been seen over the years?, when did they appear? Has another member been caught out with this one? or have one in their collection?
If repro there must be a lot of these knocking about? was this cast as a commerative item?
If these questions can be answered so be it, if not then it could be right??
Nothing is black and white in WW2!
