POSTCARDS — Italy
	Lot	Condition	Description	Value/Bidding
	34		Italy propaganda picture postcards mixed condition mint and used (40 different) from the second Italo-Ethiopain war 1935-1936. Art Deco showing African themes. Plenty of tall, fez wearing, well armed black fighters (Astari) racing into battle many with their battalion flags flying. Six more add to the value with anti-Italian propaganda theme here. Original period pieces that are seldom seen in the market as singles let alone as a regimental history lesson. A forgotten piece of WWII history.	Cat. Value: S. B. 600.00 Price Realized: $600.00
