The eagle could be genuine ( but the photo are little bit dark), someone remove the crown (it could be Rsi) but also remove the fascio Axe( that is strange) and the safety pin has been replaced.Originally posted by cesare cornia View Post

The ax blade was often removed from the fasces on badges used by Kingdom of the South (co-belligerent) forces. Militaria from the forces which fought with the Allies against the RSI has very limited collector appeal and value in my experience.Comment

...thinking on this pilot badge ,about the removed crown & Axe, knowing that after 1943 the Pilots had two choise, Rsi ( removing crown) & co-belligerent (removing fascio or removing only the Axe) there is the possibility that the man was also in the air force after the war, since 1946 ,so we could Have two further possible options :Originally posted by Controbanda View Post
He was a RSI pilot ( cutting the crown) and after war cutting the Axe
He was a co-belligerant pilot (cutting the Axe) and after war cutting the crown,
Who knows......

hello Cesare my first impression was that the pin was too big for the eagle, ,but if we consider that your badge ,as you say ,is the reduced version 50mm (instead the classical 75mm)and if your feeling on the pin is good , it could be his original pin.Originally posted by cesare cornia View Post
