Badges and Insignia of the Action Squads
Every Action Squad had
its own particular badge, generally fabricated by hand and with little regard
for a serial production.
The basic themes were usually that of the Republican Fasces or a skull, a symbol
inherited from the “Arditi” units of the First World War.
