I have a Round Copper Pendant that I think was from the Black Shirts. It is about 1" Diameter with a Chain Hole at the Top. On one Side it has a Palm Tree, a Knife "X" on the handel on Top of (3)-Spears, and the Words "270 LEGIONC CCNN LIBICA INVINCIBILC". On the other Side, it has a Map with (3) Places called "TRAPANI", "AGRIGENTO" & "CNNA". Around the Perimeter it has "VAMPA"FRECCE" & "LPVI". The Map has (2) Arrows to the Right Side and (2) what looks like to me, "Long Dog Heads with their Mouths Open". I have been trying to find out what this is since I have had it. It was in with some things that my Father had and was past down to me when he Past. My Dad was in WWII so, if that helps please let me know! Thanks! Hi!

The 81st CCNN battalion was active there and took part in battles fought against the Udarne Brigade at Dolnij Poloj during October of 1942. Incidentally, this was also the setting for the last Cavalry charge ever mounted by the Italian Army. And finally, the 81st battalion was designated a "M" battalion shortly before being sent to Yugoslavia.
