RobW Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hello Lambert, Yes; it is the wide variety that makes collecting these items interesting. When I have time I will post a pic of an Italian war commemorative mini with four dated year bars. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobW Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hello Lambert, While a little off-topic, here is the miniature italian war commemorative medal. It is part of a larger mini group of 5, including a vic, that I am re-constructing. It is maker marked 'S J' (Stephano Johnson) immediately below the wreath on the central bottom of the obverse. In addition the designers mark 'S.C' for Silvio Canevari is to the right, as viewed, of the bust of the King. Such detail from a miniature only 18mm in diameter is good workmanship. The dated year bars are also a nice design. I hope this helps. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnymac Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have noticed this bidder, bids on a lot of things. When he sets his mine to the fact that he wants it, he put a very high number so matter what you bid you will lost. He just won all four items and all four are sand casted items? 1. Cuban sand casting = $236.50 item # 260946754425 2. Greek sand casting = $224.50 item #250985650285 3. Italian sand casting = $52.02 item #250985646621 4. Siam sand casting $235.95 ( the sand cast was of the repro medal not the original one). item #250985637512 I post this to say to all members if you need help in ID-ing something reach out to one of the many forum members for a second opinion by sending them a email.

RobW Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Yep - another poor casting. Pitted and low on detail. Bill It is still marked. "made in france" Lambert Hello Bill & Lambert, The French firm of M. Delande (Paris) produced reproductions, including cast copies, of all the vic series. This was during the late 1920s and early 1930s timeframe. The requirement for medals to have their country of origin was due to the US Tariff Law of 1931. In that regard there appeared to be nothing wrong with that particular cast Italian reproduction.

lambert Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hello all. This is another example of Vic Italia (Milano SJ.) with long ribbon, in very good condition. reverse signed G. Villa. Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymac Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Does anyone have a 1915 - 1918 Italian Victory medal they would be willing to post. Both side with lots of details if you can ,Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilco Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi Gents, My latest acquisition is the Czech-made Italian vic Unofficial type 1: Obverse Reverse. It seems to be relatively crudely made, with the staffa a little off-set from the central position - particularly noticable in the reverse view. Diameter 34mm, and what looks like a Czech-style ribbon. Any comments welcome. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambert Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Hello Jim. I do not know this kind, some model is dated to 1915-1918 Vic's Italian? I know that some diplome of the commemorative medal for 1915-1918, authorized the use of the medal or Allied Victory together. Diploma Commemorative Medal 1915-1918 with additional comment (see below) allowing the wearing of the medal or Allied Victory: so this is a "double degree".

lambert Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi Jim. I was wrong about the Italian Vic dated 1915 - 1918, did not know the "type 5" described by Mr. Laslo. Sorry my information wrong. Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oliver860 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hi Do I understand correctly that the type on the obverse Manufacturer FMLorioli & Castelli-Milano and on the reverse "G.Villa" no? Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjin Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hi Oliver FM Lorioli & Castelli-Milano is the maker, G.Villa was the person who made the dies for making the medal. Gaetano Orsolini designed the medal, you will see Orsolini MOD on Italalian VM's to the left of the makers name. Depending on the VM type you will see a difference in makers name, designers name and die sinkers name. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver860 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hello! You do not understand! There is an official type 3 by Laszlo. On the obverse left of the inscription "ORSOLINO MOD." Right in two lines «F.M. LORIOLLI & CASTELLI MILANO ». The reverse "G.Villa" is missing. And there is the same type, but in reverse "G.Villa"?

Bilco Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hi Oliver, On my examples the "G.Villa" appears on the Official Type 1 and 2 but not the Type 3 or 4. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver860 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hello! I also think that the production of medals «F.M. LORIOLLI & CASTELLI MILANO» on the reverse "G.Villa" is missing. Unfortunately I do not have permission to post photos. Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
