Commemorative lapel pin given to next of kin for the death of an Italian Air Force pilot.

Circa WWII.

Enamel and gilt on brass.

This is from a large collection of Italian wings and badges, which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MEJX07 L/SAGEX 11/09

8+ (fine): some wear and light tarnishing, truly a wonderful example of this badge.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
