KinCaidk 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Pretty cool! I like the skull I could do without the red X and the gold 12 marker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob bean 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Not sure if you know why, so here you go. I do agree with you about the marker above 12. The Decima Flottiglia MAS (Decima Flottiglia Mezzi d'Assalto, also known as La Decima or Xª MAS) (Italian for "10th Assault Vehicle Flotilla") was an Italian commando frogman unit of the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy) created during the Fascist regime.
