Re: nazi/italian freindship badge?
If you turn it right side up, it looks like it was made by "S. Johnson in Milan"...nice little pin.

Re: nazi/italian freindship badge?
Maker is S. Johnson which seems a strange name for a maker of badges based in Milan. I can't comment on it's originality.

Whatever
its just an opinion.

Hi, can not say if its original, but San Remo is an Italian coastal city with about 58000 inhabitants.
Cheers.

Im sitting here with a big stupid grin on my face thinking to myself what a clown I am. Because I’ve looked at this a few times and never clicked.

In the 1800s, a lot of British people settled in Italy... I guess it just goes to show you how powerful and wide reaching the Royal navy was back then. In fact, a lot of Italian cities (Bologna, Genoa and Milan) adopted the St. Georges cross flag. I heard that this was done as a means of telling the British navy that they were friendly... Aka, dont blow us out of the water! Also, my favorite soccer team AC Milan was formed in 1899 by two British blokes named Edwards and Kilpin.
