    Hi all,

    Rummaging in the old insignia collection again,

    Some Italian items for your perusal..Old Italian Insignia Dscn0212

    The green and gold Para Badge is a copy of an early Libyan Colonial period item. I believe it was worn by Libyans serving in Italian Colonial Forces.

    All other badges are legit.

    Especially dear to me is the Alpini badge on the right. I grew up looking at the mountain range depicted in the badge. The range is collectively

    known as " The 3 Peaks of Lavaredo", and is located in the Eastern Alps well north of Venice. The Alpini were stationed in my home town of Belluno.

    Enjoy, rip...

    Thanks for your comments Vitalis,

    Upon further research, the copy of the colonial ( Libya ) period para badge is supposed to
    represent Alpini Parachutists.

    Does not look Italian to me, but I could be wrong.

    Are there any markings on reverse side ?
