Italy Partisan Garibaldi Brigades 3000 Lire 22-7-1944 UNL. An interesting example of how finance was carried on in the field, this appears to be an IOU for 3000 Lire for a pack saddle issued by one of the Garibaldi Brigades. These military units morphed from the Venezia Division which had been fighting on the side of the Axis before Italy's capitulation in 1943. Much like the nation, they changed sides in late 1943 and ended up fighting their former ally, Germany. This document is, by its very nature, unique and will make a great addition to any Italian collection. Fine-Very Fine with three vertical and one horizontal fold.
Estimate: 100-200 USD
