An original and scarce Italian medal ribbon bar of a war veteran. Consisting of 7 separate awards. Very interestingly constructed of cut plastic pieces and original metal devices, to form a very colorful and striking bar. Consists of the following awards:
Top Row (Left to Right):
Crosse for War Merit
Crosse for War Merit with 2 stars
The Medal for Volunteers of the War 1940-45
Bottom Row (Left to Right):
Volunteer Legion (V.L.)
Ethiopia Campaign Medal with sword for combatants
WW2 Commemorative Medal for the period 1940-1943 (3 stars)
Medal for the War of Liberation
A scarce grouping that reflects service across both sides of the conflict: the Royal Army (Regio Esercito) under Mussolini, and subsequent participation in the Co-Belligerent forces after the 1943 armistice. Includes combatant, volunteer, and long service awards, all in period enamel with fine original devices.
