Title: Any ideas on this please? Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on July 23, 2009, 09:07:39 AM This has had me stumped for quite a while now, it's not a detecting find but something I've had in my bits box for many many years now!
What is it & what does it say? Burp Title: Re: Any ideas on this please? Post by: Richy on July 23, 2009, 09:38:38 AM Kris, reading the inscription on the reverse it looks like an Italian commemorative medal for the battle of Vettoria Venito which took place between 24 Oct-4 Nov 1918.
If you google the above you'll probably find out more. :) :). Title: Re: Any ideas on this please? Post by: Spooyt Vane on July 23, 2009, 09:59:32 AM RICHY ROMA 4TH NOV IS (GIPSY DAY)MANY THOUSANDS DYING IN HOLOCAUST CAMPS 1935--1945
Title: Re: Any ideas on this please? Post by: Richy on July 23, 2009, 12:41:59 PM Just googled it again and it appears to be an Italian medal commemorating 20 yrs since the end of WW1.
"Associazione Nazionale Combattenti" is the Italian equivalent of our Veterans Association. One has just sold on the Italian eBay site for 2 euros. :o Title: Re: Any ideas on this please? Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on July 23, 2009, 01:58:52 PM Cheers Richie & Rob, thank you for the I.D guys.
