That would be interesting to find out. I have no problems ID'ing Italian Infantry, Artillery, alpini ,Bersaglieri and Militia units OOB. I do however have a very limited knowledge to Italian sappers units, its formation and deployment. Do you have any info Italian sappers? Preferably a list of which engineer units went to North Africa? I have seen your collection before, through another forum. Its the most extensive collection of Italian badges ive ever seen.

Indeed Rich , But not all Italian divisions / corps/ Army components served in North Africa and were assigned pith helmets. Nothing worse then looking at an Italian pith helmet with a badge that never saw African soil. regards

It is an Italian ww2 to pre ww2 Italian engineers badge . i have the identical badge in my collection. I don't think it is a pith helmet badge though. Im not sure if the 1ST engineers corps served in North Africa.
