Hello contrabanda thanks...long time no see !.....ok so if as you say then these badges were cut down.. crowns removed etc..was this done by those FEW who went over to the RSI ??...if so then does that make these altered PAI badges rare to find ??..as only small number of men stay loyal to the Duce !....cheers

About the loyalty of the PAI to the Duce , it is to be pointed out as an exemple the sad story of the General Maraffa commander of the Pai , who refused to join RSI,was arrested and died in Dachau.

ciao mate ,
is the old same story ... it's easier took off eagles and other royal insignia from badges and uniforms instead of add something . I've found really few PAI accessories with those part removed versus Regio Esercito ( in % of course ) . One of the rarest PAI item without crown and Nodo Savoia is mod 33 helmet ... only 4 known
