got this yesterday from the same field as the fusilier badge----its a strange field doesn't seem to contain a lot of history(by italies standard) but 17thc up it's hot! theres an old villa about 1\4 of a mile away and an old road goes by the side of this land..

anyway the item is a 'printing block' and it reads in english'' economic commando vII.....'' according to a guy in sweden it's a nazi unit involved in claiming assets,plundering etc..

maybe they occupied the villa in the war and had to get rid of the evidence quickly ?
funny thing is i nearly chucked it ,couldn't see the inscription ....just looked like field junk!

Thats a keeper for sure! If this item is what it depicts to be then it was possible used but the SS / NSDAP.
There are good forums for this, www.warrelics.eu is good :icon_thumright:
