Hey guys
Recently I got this bersag mostrine from a friend's trade

They were made by a former italian repro maker Diego Bosi

Are this any good for a RSI impression? i've also have a pair of gladi from Mister Bosi as well

Good day Bersgalieri 1940

I apologize. I just saw your post.

For reenactments, they look good for RE. The gladi are RSI and don't belong on those mostrine. RSI mostrine for bersaglieri have three flames, not two.

Pista! Jeff

Oh i apologize, i didnt mention it, i wanna do the battaglione mameli, that used the 2 pointed one (them and their sister unit the mussolini battalion, never had 3 pointed flames, some even didnt get the gladi for quite some times, using the old stars, MVSN faces and even some political arditi like skulls), I was mostly unsure about the color as it is the more early war/correct color and i didnt know if it was good enoght with the RSI

Ahh, I understand. The color of the bersaglieri mostrine is more a raspberry color. The shade/hue of things Italian are always a point of discussion. I feel your mostrine color is fine (faded).

I can't gauge the size of your mostrine from the picture, so you will need to decide whether they have the correct shape. The RSI tended to use an elongated mostrine as you can see in your pictures.
