Italian Flag

**Spitace41** · 04-23-2012, 04:26 PM

Hi all. Got this flag today from an army surplus store. I know this type was used from the middle of the 19th cent to 1946 but i'm having dfficulty judging its age. Can anyone help me out?

Cheers.

It's a pre '46 Kingdom of Italy flag as you know, but it is not a battle flag. The battle ensign for the kingdom had the crown of Savoy over the shield of the same. I would say it's real and of the later period looking at the condition.

Regards, Ned.

I really like it!!! i have a small pendant in the same flag style!
Thanks, Glen.

Yeah, it was hung in the window for at least two months so thought I had better save it. Do you tink £20 was a fair price? I'm liking that pennant also, I guess off a vehicle?

Cheers.

I would have happily paid £20 for it.

Not anywhere near my field but £20 smells like a bargain

Well my pendant cost me £26 off ebay and its about 30cm in length... I haven't seen one of these in a while and i would happily pay £20 for it as i would hang it on my wall, just what im looking for

Thanks, Glen.

Hi all. I'm just bumping this thread as I have lived with this flag for a while and it doesn't fit in with my collection so am looking to re- home it. Just wondering if there is any interest out there? Cheers.
