Rare, WWII Fascist Italian Blackshirts Militia Zone Brass Infantry Training Sleeve Shield

Rare, WWII Fascist Italy Blackshirts Militia Zone 4 – Infantry training sleeve shield in brass for an NCO or enlisted man and reads 'ZONA IV CCNN'. Each Black shirt division badge bore a different center image according to what part of the unit they belonged to, this sleeve badge depicts crossed rifles denoting Infantry. The badge was worn on the left sleeve above the elbow, but was eventually abolished in June 1940. Hope this helps.
