In the coming days I will try to post the schematics of the RSI units

As for the military chaplains, I think it is interesting to post some pictures of one of the most famous: Father Luciano Usai chaplain of the XXXI Assault Engineers' Battalion in North Africa (1 silver medal, 2 bronze medals, 1 war cross for military valour and a second class German iron cross). After the armistice he had a series of incredible missions that ended with his death sentence from which he was later amnistied. He died in 1981 in Brazil where he carried out his missionary work.

This is a very interesting photo because it combines two rarities: a coastal division's staff including the military chaplain!

Some peculiar stars. On left the star used by the chaplains until 1936:

Marcello,

Great thread with invaluable information on insignia, well overdue.

Love the portraits/uniform and insignia being shown.

Regards
Paul.
