        Hello Gregory.
        Congratulations, very nice and rare stuff (ss italian items are very very rare )
        Thanks for sharing with us!

        No this badge is not for the sleeve is for the Avanguardista cap.
        On the paper you can read Berretto that in italian means cap

        The avanguardista was a step of the Fascist youth (called first Opera Nazionale Balilla and the Gioventù Italiana del Littorio).

        We wait for more of your italian items.
        Thanks and Ciao!

              I beg your pardon, but unfortunately I feel to raise some serious doubts regarding the italian SS metal eagle....
              On SS section there is an interesting thread on this Italian SS (29th Division), where you can see the standard zamac eagle produced by Lorioli...

                Thanks for the responses, on the Eagle I posted though,,, as you have said this one is not a standard one. I received with some other items and sure there are fakes out there but I have no problem with this one because it is a custom made, so this is not going to be a standard type Italian SS eagle, who ever had this made they spent allot of time and money to due one like this in solid Silver. I have not seen any others made like this so it is a unique Eagle as far as I know? I am surely open to all posts on it but you can't put this in the category of a standard SS Eagle.

                I will take more photos if anybody would like to see them, I have owned this one for many years and still believe this to be a personal made Eagle, the mold and casting with the rear attachments is finely made, maybe a gift or?

                thanks greg

                  Greg, unfortunately I have seen other eagles like your one. A few of them also passed on ebay.com in the last years. I don't know if I saved any pics of these, I'll check and, in positive case, I'll post them. I'm absolutely not the "bible", but, since I've collected Italian SS items for a while and I have serious doubts, I felt it was right to tell it to you...I hope you understand my point.

                    Hi Greg I tend to agree with Francesco unfortunately I have seen in the past some of them on sale in eBay. Some of these eagles also had the “800” silver proof. One thing for sure they did have the same style design with the flat reverse and the same pin attachments.

                      Hey I respect your guys opinion, but I like it and I have seen some fakes like you guys have said, but from the ones I have seen are way different than mine.

                      1. mine is stamped: SEPRI 900 (not 800)
                      2. this one is dated: ROMA 1943
                      3. this is solid silver, as tested.

                      NOW I know your going to say they wouldn't mark a badge like this, BUT have you ever seen one marked like it before??? I bet not.... or made of a high end medal?

                      Also I don't have a big story yo go with it, but it did come with a SS Member Stick Pin (4 yr) and it came from a man who had no idea what they were or why they were in his dads jewelry box when sold, so I know the stick pin is 100% good and believe me I have been searching to locate another one, or photos and nothing?? so fake sure could be but why, in solid silver and only one so far??

                      I know you guys are going to do as I do and slam it, but as we say if you like it keep it

                      thanks guys

                        Hi Gregory,

                        sorry agree with Francesco (Nostradamus) about the doubt.
                        All the eagle ww2 era are factory mechanical stamped, never
                        in jewelery fusion.
                        cheers, Raffaello

                          Man, I'm not saying this is a Factory made eagle. it is a custom made one and will not be as a Standard Italian eagle! Whew....

                          So you can't compare this as a Factory made, I ask have you guys ever seen one like this before??? stamped as this one, or made of Solid Silver?

                          so please look beyond the fact they made Standard-Factory Eagles. Also I am well aware of the fake that has been sold and this is not even close to what those junks look like, but PLEASE post photos of ALL KNOWN fakes of Italian Eagles, and we can see what they look like compared to this.

                          Thanks Greg koepp

                            Your sewing kit may have been found and used in Italy but I think it likely was made in Montreal. Belding Corticelli is (was) an old Canadian company dating back to the late 1800's and early 1900's. They later became Belding Corticelli Richardson. I believe they are now defunct but I'm not positive. Ammersee
