    MORE PICS

    Hi, It is a postwar hat. The badge is for Navy of Repubblica Italiana (italian republic). The war badge has Real crown instead Republci crown.

    The rank is for Guardiamarina (second lieutenant).

    The quality of the hat and the badge is poor.

    Hallo SICHERHEITSDIENTS. :beer:

    Welcome to the forum, with regards typing posts only in capital letters,

    this, is considered to be the online equivalent of "shouting" at somebody.

    Is it possible for you to type normally, its also easier on the eyes.

    Thank you and hopefully you will get a reply soon to your questions.

    Hi Fernando,

    There are many makers for navy officer cap. Unione Militare is the biggest & it had many shops in Italy.

    I don't know the period of the hat, I collect italian militaria only to 1945. I think it is from 70ies, but I don't have books to read about this.

    Unione Militare, sell uniforms & badges at different costs & this cap seems to be the most cheap (many inferior officials lend military service - conscription). The badge quality it's no good. It have a 'square' cut around the leaves, instead a perimetral cut. It is twisted & sewed bad.

    One of the best makers was Dani from Livorno (in this city there is the Accademia Navale), but possibly cost, for an officer, duoble or more than UM.

    I hope you find a war cap.

    Cheers, IP

    Hi Fernando. It seems to be a Marina Militare, but it could be a civil navy hat (they're identical apart ranks). The rank is not in use today and I don't know if & when was used in MM.

    Sorry, but I don't know very well ranking on post war italian navy.

    Ciao.

    This ribbon are used only during 2WW. The navy, for military secret, in 1940, reemoved ribbon whit name unit & took rbbon with only Regia Marina, Regie Navi, Squadra Navale, Siluranti, etc.. This ribbon, if I remember well, was instituited on 1941. After war, come back ribbons with unit name (without R N - meaning of Regia Nave, but only Nave, Because Italy was proclamed Republic Instead Kingdom).

    Nice ribbons

    Yes, In war time (and before of course) they use both white & blue.

    I've a picture of my Uncle in 1939/40 that has a white one with R N Nicotera ribbon.
