Snoopy Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 HelloI found this colour page in a "Signal" magazine. It shows italian medals from the second world war. I don't know if it is of any interest, but I decided to post it anyway. I'm sorry that the quality isn't the best. It is only a photo I took with my camera.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrik Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The bottom 3 with blue ribbon are:Italian Military Merit Medals, in bronze, silver, giltThe 2 crosses are Italian Cross of War, one with a sword insignia* on the ribbon.Hello Kevin & All,For the sake of correct nomenclature, the three medals are Military Valour Medals. The 2 crosses are resp. The Cross for Military Valour (1st type as created in 1941) and the War Merit Cross.The variety that exists for the Military Valour Crosses is quite extensive and complex with several different inscriptions found on the reverse.Cheers,Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) HelloI decided to take some close ups of the medals. I have allso written down the names, that are mentioned in the text. The names are all in italian. I hope i managed to attach the correct name, to the correct medal. If not, feel free to correct me.RegardsSnoopyOrdine Militare di Savoia,Cavaliere di Gran Croce Edited February 11, 2008 by Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
