Pictured below are some of the loose GNR stylized Lightning bolts or Double M's
worn by the Militiamen and their Officers of the Republican National Guard or GNR
formed during the Italian Sociale Republic (RSI) 1943-45 . They were usualy worn on the black flame collar tabs of the former MVSN minus the Imperial fascio which it replaced. The GNR was mostly used for Security and Anti Partisan warfare. Later the GNR was to become part of the regular Republican Armed Forces and were to replace this insignia with the gladio on the black tabs.
