Original WWII Italian Co-Belligerent Forces Arm Badge

Description: This auction is for a Original WWII Italian Co-Belligerent Forces Arm Badge - Paratrooper Folgore Excellent condition and very rare arm insignia for the Co-Belligerent forces of the post-Fascist Italian army in the south. Arm badge made in painted celluloid and marked on back by maker BONORA in black ink stamp. Measures 58mm by 25mm. The badge represents the Folgore Division which was the paratroopers of the new Co-Belligerent forces. The division's history begins on 25 September 1944 with the formation of the Combat Group "Folgore" of the Italian Co-Belligerent Army with soldiers from the disbanded 184th Infantry Division "Nembo". The name of the combat group was chosen to commemorate the 185th Infantry Division "Folgore", which fought to annihilation in the Second Battle of El Alamein. The "Nembo" itself had been raised in 1942 with the Folgore's 185th Infantry Regiment "Folgore" as its core unit. The Italian Co-belligerent Army (Esercito Cobelligerante Italiano), or Army of the South (Esercito del Sud) were names applied to various division sets of the now former Royal Italian Army during the period when it fought alongside the Allies during World War II from October 1943 onwards.
