    Unusual RSI Italian Pilot Wing?

    I recently obtained this unusual wing and was hoping to find a little information.

    Beautifully detailed with with crown and marked Breccia Roma on the back.

    I cannot find another example with the left-facing eagle.

    I do see that much earlier variants had a left-facing eagle.

    Could this be an unusual transition period piece?

    Thanks!

    Nice pilot badge!
    But not RSI at all! Repubblica Sociale Italiana, created in September 1943 in Northern Italy. Being a Republic, there were no crowns on its badges!
    Your pilot badge is some kind of a transitional one between the earlier and the latest types (see pics)
