This metal badge with the italian cocade was used in WW2 by the 10th battalion of "autieri" (kraftfahrer).Hello Zeb,
You have a wonderful collection of Italian items; they are very rare here in the USA.
Maybe you or someone else could help me identify this item. I think it is from the period of WWI or earlier due to the Crown. Sadly, I do not own any Italian reference materials. I really like the look of it, its really detailed and well made.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
