Default Two cap badges - Need Help

Hi,

A friend send me these pictures from two cap badges purchaseds from a vet family. The 1st one seems to me a without "N" variant I never had see before from the ONB cap badge. And the second I have no idea what is it. Can someone identify correctly both badges to me?

Thanks and Regards,

Ricardo

Ricardo...the second one is a youth battalion badge of the Fiamme Bianche..(White Flames)..R.S.I era...volunteers from the Opera Balilla youth movement.The first one is also of the Opera Balilla...it replaced the G.I.L badges in 1944.

Hi Semovente,

I think your info is coerent with the fact both badges are picked by a Brazilian Expeditionary Force vet at italian front about 1944/45.

Thank you very much

Regards,

Ricardo
