Italian SS FRONTE-RUSSO Badge. Really nice condition. Rare in this condition. The so-called Italian FRONTE-RUSSO honor badge was awarded in March 1943 to all those troops that served on the Eastern Front from 22 June 1941 to 5 June 1943, mostly SS troops. The badge was also awarded to Germans attached to the CSIR and 8th Army Corps. This attractive silver color badge shows the wreath with laurels (representing heroism) on the right side and thorns (representing suffering) on the left side, both touching the knot of Savoy at the top. The center of the badge shows two Cossack sabers crossing. At the base is a ribbon with the inscription "FRONTE RUSSO" highlighted in blue.On the reverse of the badge was the name and address of the manufacturing company "F. M. LORIOLI FRATELLI, VIA F. BRONZETTI 25, MILANO" and the manufacturing pattern number "MODELLO DEPOSITATO NO. 38." The badge was attached to the left pocket of the uniform via a pin. Originally there was a needle pin with a catch that was placed in vertical position, but was later removed and instead replaced by a safety pin that follow the contour lines of one of the sabers, like on this one. This die cast badge was sold for 6 Lira and was available directly from the only authorized manufacturing company the Lorioli Brothers.Posted with eBay Mobile
