Hi guys can you help me with these?

first up I was wondering why the 2 different ribbons on this one.

another similar one

[Sal Williams]

This one is beautiful! I believe it was a spanish awarded wound badge during the civil war and LC members also recieved it?

[Sal Williams]

This one looks older than SCW to me

[Sal Williams]

And an interesting I.D.? Any ideas on this one?

Thanks folks!

1st scan, the 1936-39 campaign medal on the left is for rear area/nobncombatants (green edges), while the usual frontline (black edges) is on right.

Then four varieties of Wound Medal.

The two in #5 = ??? but not official military.

[Sal Williams]

thanks Ricky! Do you know the grades of the wound badges?

Sal I think pic 12 is possibly related to Aviazione Legionaria, the Italian unit that fought in the spanish civil war, here is a pic of my embroidered wings, note Axe, Gun, Crossbow.
