Italy Al Valore Militare Medal Questions

[redeagleorder]

Hi all,

From what i can tell about this medal it was awarded for military bravery, and I have read somewhere that the maker marks suggest that it is WW1 vintage. Also, that there could be a name on the back but they were sometimes also awarded like this in the immediate aftermath of a battle. Could anyone confirm/deny this information as well as give me a value for it as I am looking to sell it?

Thank you

Matthew

Matthew,

your infos are correct. The marks are from the royal mint. Nobody can't know if it was actually given to anybody, due to the blank reverse, but the medals given "sul campo" (=immediate aftermath of a battle) were unnamed.

The medal is in good conditions, the ribbon could be better.

The price could be 110-130 euros.

Hope this can help

Claudio
