Hello Brus and many thanks for your reply. I've just read the book "Italiani... Tutti in divisa!" (http://tuttostoria.it/ita/il-catalog...utti-in-divisa) but unfortunatly there is no mention of these badges in the FGC chapter.

I found this regulation on the web, pretty obscure insignias for me

i lauri, during the 41-44 I found that "female" rank stripes on the sleeve badge have three different color :
RED : PICCOLE ITALIANE (junior italians )
WHITE :GIOVANI ITALIANE ( young italians)
YELLOW: GIOVANI FASCISTE (young fascists)

so following the a/m also your badges probably could follows the same, about the one in green I suppose it was for "figlie della lupa "(wolf - doughter) fascist child section ,but it is to be confirmed.
ciao

Thank you Andrea. The badge also exist in blue. I'm confused. Is there not the specialization (white=sport, etc.) ?

[andrea]

in the regulation you found on web the badges are all for female sports activities, two stripes for head of section, one stripes vice-head section, three stripes office-chief, so on my opinion the color are not relevant to the activities but to the different group, now the blue you show me is to be investigate. I will check

..unfurtunately all my suppositions were wrong!,fortunately I found the meaning of the badge color.
The badges were done for functionary/employed in GIL (italian youth )amdministration,Office, where there was four ranking Groups A,B,C,D. The color of the badge was:
A. Withe
B. Blue
C. Red
D green
These groups were inside splitted in many grade (level) the gruop C was splitted from grade 11 ( any stripe) to grade 7 (three stripes) etc ..
These badge were for all GIL functionary as male as female .
So for example your blue badge is for Gil Functionary group B 7 grade(level),
To know the meaning of gruop and level seems quinte impossible to me.
What we read on the regulationon found in the web is to me not complete or only partially correct.
Obviously a/m is what I understand .........
Ciao

Okay, I understand. This ranking system is like the one used with the PNF functionaries (http://miles.forumcommunity.net/?t=56468505), as a breast badge for the civilian outfits.
I greatly appreciate your help Andrea !
Now it would be interesting to find a period photo...
