The Italian pilot badge I think is a fake but not sure they want the opinion of some experienced collectors and if posibill a photo of an original (front and rear). To my knowledge there are only a silver model.

The R.S.I Pilot brevet should be made by S. Johnson(stroke #7905) in October of 1944 should have the word "brevettato" on the rear. Issued badges have the brevet number and sometimes the name of the pilot. Rich A. in Pa.

This is an extremely rare badge. Less than 300 were ever made. It was designed and sent to the Republican Airforce (Mussolini's Republic of Salo after the surrender of the Royal Italian Armed Forces on 8 September 1943) Secretary of Defense in October 1944. It was approved on 17 November 1944 and issue began. It became obsolete as of 1 May 1945. The wreath and upraised Roman sword (called a "gladius") are the official collar emblems of the RSI Armed forces.
