This item is an accessory for a toy minifigure, consisting of a historical national flag mounted on a small black flagpole with a base.
The flag shown is the national flag of the Kingdom of Italy (Regno d’Italia). This was the official flag of Italy from the nation’s unification in 1861 until the monarchy was abolished and the country became a republic in 1946. This is the historically correct flag to be used with Italian soldiers from the World War I and World War II eras.
The design of the flag is the Italian Tricolour with the royal coat of arms added to it:
- It features the three iconic vertical bands of green, white, and red.
- In the center of the white band is the shield of the House of Savoy. This emblem, a white cross on a red field, was the coat of arms of the royal dynasty that ruled Italy during that period.
The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile. This accessory is perfect for creating historically accurate dioramas, especially for scenes involving the Royal Italian Army (Regio Esercito) in World War II.
