Hi Keith,
this is a "Distintivo Per Navigazione In Guerra - Siluranti" , a badge for war navigation for those who served on torpedo boats.
These badges were created around 1943/44 by Romano Dazzi and produced by Johnson Milano with Royal crown on top. During the RSI period they had been redesigned i.e. the crown has been removed.
After the war in 1947 the badges have been confirmed again for the Marina Militare.
Signed pieces are likely to be war time pieces
Cheers,
Alex

so the general opinion of collectors on this badge is : probably war time done by Johnson,but not awarded during the war.
