    Saw this wing being offered. It's approximately 70mm wide. Any opinions on the authenticity based on these two photos?

    Many thanks.

    Perfect originals. During SCW many insignia were handcrafted locally.

    The simbol on the red disk is for the Spanish Foreign Legion, where the Italians enlisted as the only way to be in the spanish regular army being foreigner.

    I know these wings, were for sale some time ago at Flying Tiger Antiques and dissapeared, I guess were sold. Price tag too much for me.

    Indeed Francisco -- Flying Tiger is where I saw them just last week. Yes, they were more than I would pay for such an item. I thought they looked a bit crude, but your handcraft explanation would fit here.

    Many thanks.

    Totally original wings worn by the Aviazione Legionaria, or the Italian aviation expeditionary force that would have flown for the nationalist forces in Spain.

    Here is a photo of the embroidered version:
