numis Posted February 14 Posted February 14 I have recently acquired a " SPERANZA " striking of the Italian CAMPAGNE D'AFRICA Medal with 2 silver bars/clasps inscribed " CAMPAGNA 1895-96 " and " CAMPAGNA D'AFRICA 1897 " . I do no know much about this medal so would be please to receive any comments that anyone make like to make about this . Are these clasps scarce or common ? And the combination ? The campaign covered by the 1895-6 bar apparently included the Battle of Adua where the Italians were decisively defeated by the Ethiopians
numis Posted February 25 Author Posted February 25 PS The clasps/bars have different reverses ( the metal strip running behind the ribbon ) One back strip has the same dimensions/thickness as the front whilst the other is a narrow strip of metal
numis Posted March 4 Author Posted March 4 Are there any reference books or journal articles that deal in depth with the various clasps/bars to this medal ?
