Steve,

I don't recall when Nazi Germany occupied Italy but yeah, probably early 40's. Current exchange on his item is around $96.00. Yours being dug and in lesser condition would be quite a bit less. Maybe $30.00 to $40.00 but if the right person comes along, you never know.

I dug a British tongue buckle, the tongue part only, in my backyard a couple years ago. There was no regiment shown just the crown. 2 Canadians got to bidding against each other for it and it went up to $36.00 as I recall. Like I said you never know.
