As you are probably aware these have been well faked. However having said that, from these two photos I'd say you have a good one.

It's an honour badge for the Divisione San Marco, Italian Troops that were trained in Germany

Hi,

In my opinion this is a good Original RSI period bagde (1944-1945).
The price would be around 500 EUR.

They are now rare.

cheers

500?

Wow really 500 Euro? That's a lot. Ok cool I guess I will pick them up then.

Thanks

Italia (Bersaglieri), Littorio (grenadier) , San Marco ( marine assaut troops)
Monterosa (alpine mountain troops)

Question, did this badge come in a silver and gold version, or just a silver?

Hi Tom,
The badge in gilded metal for officers and silvered for NCO's and
men, has be worn above the right breast pocket of uniform.
The honour badge of training course in Germany was decreed on
15/7/1944 and assigned to the soldiers of the four division trained
in Germany and to the german trainers. The text of the circular
of 1944: " In order to cement more and more the comradeship
ties with the allied army, the Duce has authorized a special badge
to be issued to the soldier of the division under training and to their
instructors"
