My uncle got these 5 pieces (total) serving in WW2, marching his way through North Africa, up through Italy, and all the way to Berlin. He was a quartermaster, \"In the rear with the gear\" - but he still managed to bring back a few things.
The epaulettes are from an officer in the Italian military of Mussolini\'s fascistMilitia, the infamous Black Shirts (MVSN). I have not been able to identify the rank of the epaulettes, but 1 local collector thought they were the shoulder boards of alieutenant. This sale you\'ll be paying for the epaulettes only. The other 3 items are to be considered as a bonus, as I do not know for sure where they originate.
You\'ll receive:
- 2 Epaulettes
- 1 \"hash marks\" fabric patch (believed to be Italian military)
- 1 Eagle fabric patch (also Italian military)
- 1 Coat of arms metal badge (?)
Buyer pays $10 insured shipping within the US. All others pay via the foreign shipping service (also $10 shipping to me). Payment via PayPal only, please.
If anyone can tell me anything more about these, please, email me with what you know. I\'d love to know what these are. Thanks for looking and good luck!
