Original Italian Fascist Party (PNF) members lapel badge featuring the tricolour enamel field and central fasces motif. The enamel remains in good condition with only light age wear. The reverse retains its original Milan maker stamp “A. E. Dagan – Milano”, typical of privately purchased party membership insignia worn on civilian attire.
The Partito Nazionale Fascista (PNF) governed Italy under Mussolini from 1922 to 1943, and membership badges like this were worn by party members to signify political affiliation. These small enamel lapel pieces were widely distributed during the 1930s, often purchased privately rather than issued by the state. Maker-marked examples from Milanese firms such as A.E. Dagan are sought after by collectors for their high-quality construction and direct association with Fascist-era civilian political culture.
The badge shows light wear from age, but the enamel remains largely intact with strong colour. The reverse is fully legible with the Milan maker mark, and the original fitting hardware is present and functional.
ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED ORIGINAL PERIOD PIECES.
Did a lot of comparing before buying and ended up here. Item turned up exactly as pictured, which honestly is all I ask for these days. Packaging was solid too. Would buy again.
You can tell this is someone who actually handles and studies the pieces. I respect that.
Not my first militaria purchase, but probably the first time I didn’t feel like I had to “decode” the listing. Straightforward, clear photos, realistic condition notes. That alone earns trust.
What I liked most was the way the history was presented. Factual and clearly written for collectors instead of glorifying anything. That matters to me.
Bought one piece initially just to test the waters. Ended up placing another order a week later. That should say enough.
Everything arrived on time and matched the listing. No drama, no excuses, no surprises. That’s increasingly uncommon with online militaria.
First time ordering from overseas and I was a bit hesitant. Communication was great, shipping was fast and the item arrived in the condition shown. Very good!
I collect mainly German pieces and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the description was. Nothing overstated, nothing hidden. Kind of rare now. Very happy with the purchase.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one felt deserved. Honest listing, fair price, no nonsense. The piece now sits proudly in my collection. Thanks Mr. Taylor

Original militaria is defined by materials, construction techniques, markings, and age-consistent wear. Understanding these indicators is essential for assessing authenticity and historical integrity.
