Description from the seller
Medal for 10 years of service – Voluntary Militia for National Security (Blackshirts)
Italy, the Fascist era
A rare and meaningful medal awarded for ten years of service in the Voluntary Militia for National Security (MVSN), commonly known as the Blackshirts.
The decoration features a bronze cross with the inscription "DIECI ANNI" at the center, surrounded by an elaborate symbolic motif of stylized fasces, typical of the official iconography of the period.
Complete with the original silk ribbon, an element increasingly difficult to find and highly valued by collectors.
Condition status
Excellent. Original patina well preserved, sharp details, no cracks or gaps. The silk ribbon is authentic and in decidedly better-than-average condition for objects of this type and period.
Historical context
The medal was awarded to members of the MVSN for reaching ten years of service, representing an official recognition within the apparatus of the Italian state during the Fascist era. It is a piece of strong historical significance, bearing witness to a period that profoundly shaped Italian and European history in the twentieth century.
Note for collectors
Original antique item, ideal for Italian militaria collections, 20th-century history, or official decorations. A piece increasingly rare to find, complete with its original ribbon and in this condition.
