italy Italian WWI Medaglia d'Onore all'Esercito e all'Armata

[Mark McM]

Hello All,

I’ve always found this to be a very interesting medal. My understanding is it was awarded by committee in 1923 with a brevet for acts of bravery in WWI, was struck in silver and bronze, was awarded in very small numbers and is sometimes wrongly identified as a prototype for the 1915-18 Commemorative Medal.  I’m curious if anyone has more information regarding numbers issued, award docs and pictures of it appearing in groups?
