I 'd like to share my Decima MAS arm shield, made by Bregonzio, Milano.

Such a beautiful piece! Is there any info on how many were issued?

According to different sources, the strength of the formation at the end of the war is roughly estimated at about 20.000 men and women, the latter being part of the auxiliary formations attached to the division.

I haven't found any information about the number of the shields themselves yet, I would be really interested to know about it. I do have questions about whether all personnel (or at least the vast majority) had been issued with one, and what the number of the ones coming from unissued stock is.

Thank you for the reply!
