Alpine artillery badge

[zoobar]

Hello
recently I aquired this Alpini badge and dont know if it is real or not. It is made of rubber and similar to metal ones in shape, but i did not come across this type. Size is approximately 57 x 51mm and has no markings.
Any help would be great.

Looks like the alpine hat badge for Italian Mountain Troops..

I trained with an Italian Alpine unit in the Dolomites back in 1987. I traded my field jacket for a complete Alpine Uniform to include hat, pants and coat.

Morning everyone,
I confirm that it is a badge of the Italian Army for Mountain Artillery.
This example is the soft plastic model, in use since 1961.
The variants were as follows:
-Troop: in black plastic
-NCOs: in golden plastic
-Officers: in embroidered fabric.

Regards
Roberto
