Caro semovente, rivedo dopo tanto tempo il tuo post, ti faccio i complimenti per i pezzi della tua collezione e sarei curioso di sapere come sei riuscito a procurarti quei pezzi, ovviamente se ti va di raccontarlo.

Complimenti! Un vero colpo di fortuna e di intelligenzia da parte tua..non credo ci siano molte divise POW in giro! Grazie a te si preserva un pezzo di storia italiana ma in definitiva di tutti i combattenti della seconda guerra mondiale
Complimenti anche per le foto: io ho perso tanto tempo nell'archivio della IRC ma non ne trovate tante
