Wonderful collection of daggers like my colleagues indicated need to see the reverse of the badges and insignia. I also suspect that the SS headgear could be a repro.

Hallo Doug
I think the blue/red shield with the leopard is for the troops of the Italian Trust Administration of Somalia (acronym "AFIS"), a United Nations trust administration in present-day Somalia, administered by Italy between 1950 and 1960. The Armed Forces in Somalia consisted of the AFIS Military Corps of Security and the AFIS Police Corps, formed by Carabineers and Finance Guards. The AFIS Air Force Command had a Flight Group (with transport and liaison aircraft Douglas C-47, Douglas C-53 and Stinson L-5 Sentinel) and a fighter squadron equipped with P-51 Mustangs.

Agreed some red flags ( the skulls more are not original) the MVSN general combat dagger needed other pics (give me an very bad feeling) Thanks for the sharing of this nice selection .

Raff"six italians, dressed in rather unusual diving suits and equipped with materials of laughably little cost have swung the military balance of power in the Mediterranean in favour of the Axis".
