Austria-Hungary: WW1 propaganda cap badge
inscribed "Bundestreue?" (Alliance Loyalty?).
The cap badge presents "treacherous little" Italy
backstabbing the rest of the Central Powers.
Dated 1915.
At the outbreak of WW1 Italy initially declared
neutrality, despite being a member of the Triple
Alliance alongside Germany and Austria-Hungary
since 1882.
In 1915 however, Italy surprisingly declared war
on Austria-Hungary, entering WW1 on the side of
the Allies, aiming to the annexation of the
Austrian Littoral and northern Dalmatia, Trento
and South Tirol.
A scarce cap badge.
