Eric Stahlhut Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 i've always considered the remaining item in question (#1) to be a war donation or 'kriegsspende' type of item. i have a pinback version somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev in Deva Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Thanks Kevin!!! Any way to identify the name of the Vatican medals? DocI believe the one with the yellow and blue ribbon to be connected to Pope Leo 13theither for his election to the job, or it commemorates a visit and audience with the Pope in Rome.A look through the Religious medal section on evil bay Italy might shed some light on it.Kevin in Deva. :beer: Edited October 28, 2008 by Kev in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
