[Raffaello Carola]

Hi,

this is the copy of the rare arm shield Blackshirts 3 Gennaio Libica
compared with the original troop shield of my collection, the troops
normally is silver plated, in gold plated for officers.
The blackshirts division in north Afrika are four:
1th divisione "23 Marzo" 219/233 legions CCNN 201 art.
2th divisione "28 Ottobre" 231/238 legions CCNN 202 art.
3th divisione "21 Aprile" 181/203 legions CCNN 203 art.
4th divisione "3 Gennaio" 250/270 legions CCNN 204 art.
cheers, Raffaello

Hello Raffaello,

thank you for sharing this comparison. I really like this shields of the CCNN divisions Libica.

The fake you showed is very easy to detect at the backside. This types are selling from the one Italian swindler at ebay.com.

At moment in ebay.it there´s an offer of the 3. CCNN division Libica shield. Is this a good one? I have doubts...


I´, searching since a few months for such an original shield of the 1., 2. (most prefered - like the link from you of the picture of a WAF-member) and the 4. division.
The 3. division isn´t for interest for me, because wasn´t involved in the battles in North Africa.
Do you have a source where I can purchase one of this?


Best greetings

Timo
