    The first one look somewhat similar to a Bersalieri cap badge but it is missing its regimental number and is not ornate engough.

    The other two are ones I have never seen. Though #3 looks like some sort of fascist party badge.

    The overall quality does not look to the same standard of Italian pieces I have seen though so at first glancer these look like Pak made items.


    Prices range on these items from about 50 to 200$ if original and in good condition.

      Hello Dejan,

      I) Regia Guardia di Finanza ( custom and inland service)
      is similar to Bersaglieri, but the flame is different.

      II) is an rare MVSN Blackshirts (fascio with edelweiss) Frontier
      Militia

      III) honour patch of Arditi in gold bullion for officiers.

      all the best

          Yes Quex is in right, this one is it a m.41( from the regolament) for troop soldiers in black for the war uses. This one was used on the alpini cap for the Milizia (with black straps)

              Hello Dejan,

              to give an just range of value is difficult IMO the Blackshirt Frontier
              over 100 euro the Arditi badge is in bad condition 50/70 Guardia di
              Finanza 50 euro this is my collector (not dealer) idea.

                  Dejan,

                  if you see this italian militaria site YOU open your eyes
                  www.caricat.it
                  in the room Fregi per copricapo e di specialita
                  there are more cloth badge for caps in sale.... many are common over 200 euro...
                  IMO I give you the honest idea....
