Roma-Berlin

[Hue]

Can someone tell me about a tiny pin, with head of soldier in peaked hat slightly behind and to side of soldier in front wearing Italian helmet, rifle rising where shoulder would be, letters on rifle barrel Roma-Berlin, long straight pin on back? Father brought this back from war, he was in from North Africa thru
southern Germany. Thanks- Hue

Hue,

These pins represent the AXIS alliance between Germany and Italy, and depict the heads of Hitler and Mussolini.

They came in a number of forms......

Hey, thanks! Nice photos! Mine has M in front, H in back, swastika is rotated 45, rifle (instead of fasces ) is also at an angle toward the right. Yours with the color is especially nice. -Hue
