WWII Italian insignia

[schlossadler]

Hi,

I recently obtained some WWII Italian insignia with a pith helmet and flag I bought. Since I am not familiar with Italian insignia I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the insignia below. Thanks.

Thanks for the help! Does anyone know of any good websites or reference books that cover Italian military insignia?

Thanks,
