Picked up a grouping of a soldier who fought in Italy in WW1 with the 332nd Infantry. (entire lot pictured here). There are a couple of badges I was hoping to ID. I think they're Austrian, but I'm not sure.

The last two Austrian cap badges in the first picture are, Isonzo Armee 1915 and a central powers unity badge. The star is from the collar of and Italian enlisted man's tunic, cape or overcoat. I very nice insignia lot! Congratulations!
