Guest Rick Research Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 That is the insignia of Royal Italian Infantry Regiment 15(8?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yep, an Italian infantry regimental ring. My pocket handbook on the Italian army circa May 1915 (the same month Italy entered the war) shows infantry regiments only numbered up to 94, so I guess that this is either a wartime or postwar ring (if the number is actually 158).Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benten Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Thanks for you reply gentlemen.Perhaps the "8" is an additional number , to indicate a sub unit of the 15 regiment......?Cheers,Benten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 No... it looks like a generic design that was stamped to order for each customer, so hand done (not very well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianpolitic Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hi, is it right. 158? Reggimento di Fanteria Liguria (158? Infatry Regiment Liguria). Nice item.Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
