Another kind in the 30's
This is a different one made in the 30's
As you noticed, in the first one Royal house symbol and fascist symbol.
In this one only fascist symbol and the name of the National Institute for Balillas, l'Opera Nazionale Balilla. That means that the Fascist gouvernement has become a dictatorial regime.Comment
