Medal

Because here you got the medal ...

classic piece

An issued and lively March on Rome, a must for all the collector of italian medals, with a cute chick (Italy) bringing fascio and laurel and an overdose of fascios a gladios everywhere

[Fabio]

back

This baby is rare and expensive because it has the name of the the guy who received it who was part of the Squad "Giulio Lusi" that really took part at the March on Rome the 28 november 1922

Fascist campaign medal

These one goes with the previous one, in the sense that were both decorations for the first fascists who were there when going gets tough
This one is called Medal for the Fascist Campaign

[Fabio]

bars

Please focus your attention to the 2 bars with they years of service for the fascist revolution. In other word this gut broke people's heads in 1921 and 1922. Not a real tough one, IMO

Badges

I think it could be interessing to show some typical fascist items.
First of all the party badge.
This is one of the oldest kinds

[Fabio]

back side

Was made between 1920 and 1924 by the famous producer Lorioli & Castelli in Milano, via Bronzetti, 25.
Is a enamel badge with unfortunately a very small line of damage on the white part of the enamel italian flag...
But it is so scarce that the damage is not a problem.

[Fabio]

Second kind

This one was made in the same period, maybe in the first couple of year of fascist era (1922/24) and is bigger than the other one.
Both were button hole badges for members of the fascist party, first pattern.

[Fabio]

Back

There's no producer's mark on it. But is pretty normal if you only think that all the italians must be inscripted to the Party: that's means that innumerable of these badges were made during the fascist regime

[Fabio]

Third kind

These one is a pin badge of the middle of the 30's.

[Fabio]

pin side

Still made by Lorioli & Castelli with trade mark.
This was a female badge because male civilian badges were button hole ones.
