Hi everyone,
I share with you some fascist medals of my collection, among the most widespread and that could not miss in the medal count of 1919 squad members, or in that of the members of the MVSN (Voluntary Militia for National Security), better known as "Black Shirts" and it was worn by Benito Mussolini , until the simple MVSN soldiers.
I hope are interesting for collectors of the kind, which remember that there are around many reproduction also good quality, particularly on n° 2.
greetings
