Granatier badge question?

[lacipaci]

Hi all,

could you help me please what kind of badge is it?
Perhaps is it the coat of arms of Vienna? A cap badge?
How old is it?
83x42mm

Thank you for your help.
Laci

It's an Italian (shako?) badge. I could not guess the period, but it would have to be WWI or earlier. Chip

Thank you, It's really italian, I found some italian forum, but I can't find the period.

You might want to move your thread or start again in the international forum, where you might find some collectors more familiar with Italian militaria. Chip
