Italy - Bars for 1915-18 War Comm. Medal

[IrishGunner]

I am aware of the bars for the Italian 1915-18 War Commemorative Medal; laurel leaves with year dates (and one for Albania).

Is anyone aware of a bar "Legionario" for this medal; reportedly for the Czech Legion in Italy?

(I have done a search and have come up with some wonderful photos of Italian WWI medals - including this one with the year bars; but nothing related to the Czech Legion.)

Thanks!

It seems to be a fake :(

I came to the same conclusion. Not a single reference to be found.

Grazie! My Italian is very weak, have learned some mostly to travel in Italy; but with the help of an online translator I understood the gist. Such a bar seemed like an unusual concept.
