This very rare gilded and enamel badge was awarded by the Royal Air Force (usually by Mussolini or Air Marshal Italo Balbo) to the family of a pilot killed in aerial combat. Notice the broken propeller meaning he lost his life for his country. A very rare badge.

"This is a "distintivo" - insignia of duty - as worn by the Female Auxiliaries of the Royal Airforce (Regia Aereonautica) for the "Marconisti" or the Radio Communications, most of which were female auxiliaries. (named after Guglielmo Marconi by the way) The shield itself was a blue-gray color (appears missing on this badge although you can see remnants of the color). The pin was worn on the upper left of the chest by the female auxiliaries." - Rudy D'Angelo
