Gruppo Esplorante, San Marco division

Great! Grazie Gustavo! This helps me a lot!

I'm into reenacting and this is my Gruppo Esplorante impression so far(I have the S. Marco lion and the Arditi-patch but I haven't added them to the tunic yet).

the arm insignia is not for G.E.,it's an Arditi insignia, since many members belonged to that.

Ah yes, I've seen those photos before, couldn't remember where though!
Thank you brus!

I found this photo of the G.E, looks like at least one of them(the ardito with the flag) is wearing a skull on his beret;

Note the beret insignia

The photos shown on #18 and#19, correctly classified as Gruppo Esplorante
San Marco, are classified as II/3rd Bersaglieri Regiment on the recent book:

I am looking for the document for the San Marco badge. Any help would be most welcome. Also I am looking for good photos of the badge in wear.
