Hallo Perce,

to get a decent honest opinion from the members here,

you will have to post better pictures,

single items, front and back, cropped close.

Hi Kevin

Cool -will put some better photos up later

a better way of putting my question would have been what are they supposed to be

Cheers

Hallo Perce

As Third Reich Items have been heavily faked this is why we need to see good close up pictures.

Top item is one of a pair of shoulder straps

The Eagle with outstretched wings over a swastika is from a cap.

The two black / Green lozenge shaped items are from the collars of a uniform denoting unit.

The shield object on the bottom left is the KRIM Campaign Shield,

given for service in the Crimea Campaign, these have been faked as well.

Military medals are my main area of interest but I am sure some of our members will be able to i.d. all with better pictures.

The Italian badge is for facist youth.

The Italian badge is for facist youth.

That is interesting... I thought that the tabs were black. I guess they arent NSKK...

Regardless, that is one hell of a score for a Pound!!

Hi Wood

Do you have any more gen on the fascist youthbadge- where was it worn? Was it sewn onto a sidecap?

Cheers

[Wood]

Hi Perce,

Sidecap was one of my thoughts too, or perhaps one of a pair of collar badges, or worn pinned to a shirt. but I am no expert on Italian items.

Regards,

Pete

Pete is correct that it's a youth badge. In particular it's a cap badge for the groups Balilla (8-11 year olds), Balilla Moschettieri (11-13 yrs), Avanguardisti (13-15 yrs) & Avanguardisti Moschettieri (15-17). The Giovani Fascisti (18-21 yrs) had a different cap badge I believe.

The badge was sewn to the Fez .

Cheers

Balilla

Avanguardisti

Hi Don

Thanks very much-first Italian fascist badge I have in my collection

Does this mean I have to start a new phase and start picking up Italian bits?

Cheers

Hi Perce,

Well it's a shame that it has to live all on it's own. If you get time, perhaps you'll post the cap badge in our "Fascism in Europe" forum, it could do with some Italian threads

Cheers

Don

Hi Don

Will move the pictures to the other thread later on

Thanks for your help

Now if anyone can tell me anything about the other bits i would be very happy

Hi Guys

Cheers

Perce

[Scowen]

is it illegal to scan the photo

Providing you give full credit to the book & author that you've scanned the image from it will be OK.
