ilclifton Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Yes, it is not military, also if the pigeons was largely used during WWI.Nice insignia, quite scarce, but not militaryRegards,Marco
Kev in Deva Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 ilclifton Many thanks again for the information with regards this Italian pin,it belongs to a good friend of mine here in Deva and I will tell him about it.I find its better to ask here at GMIC if an item has a military connection, because sooneror later we get a member who knows about the item.Pity its not military but thats the way it goes sometime. Kevin in Deva
JimZ Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Pity indeed - But at least it did indeed remind me of the episode in Blackadder goes Forth when the General's pet pigeon was served for dinner....and the ensuing Court Marshal! I asked only to edit the title of the thread once the lapel pin was identified.Regards, Jim
