Hello forum, I bought this medal at a local show on Sunday. I know the sword means the soldier was a combatant, but what does the star represent?
Ethiopian Campaign Medal
Hello forum, I bought this medal at a local show on Sunday. I know the sword means the soldier was a combatant, but what does the star represent?
Re: Ethiopian Campaign Medal
Wish I could help, but I like your medal! I think that stars on U.S. ribbons represent jumps and landings for different battles. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Not quite sure what they mean for Italian medals.
Re: Ethiopian Campaign Medal
The star on Italian medal ribbons stands for a second award of the medal and are not often seen. Nice catch.
Regards, Ned.

Interesting info. Good catch.
Re: Ethiopian Campaign Medal
SWEET! thanks Ned! i never thought a campaign medal would be awarded a second time. Ive also learned that some of these medals have a "letter code" A-F for different mints. mine has the letter C. are there some mints that are harder to find than others?
