    Default Italian buttonhole miniature bar

    Here is a neat little item I recently acquired (this is actually totally out of my usual collecting fields, but I liked it so much that I just had to have it):

    A civilian-wear buttonhole device with 7 tiny miniature enamel ribbons. Unless I am much mistaken, these are the Italian Medal for Military Valor in Bronze (2 x), the Cross for Military Valor (2 x) and the War Cross of Merit (2 x); I cannot identify the last one. If anybody can help me out with that one or even correct a possible misidentification of the other ones (as I said, not my area of expertise), I would be grateful.

    (I think I saw a similiar item once on this or perhaps another forum, but for the life of me, I can't find it...)

    Interesting looking piece.
    I've always liked miniature awards. Some of the ww1 Austrian and German
    States minis are like little pieces of art.

    I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
    myself around.

    My mind just wouldn't rest until I found out where I had seen a similar one, so I kept rummaging around some more and finally found it; it was over on the WAF:

    (I've now added mine to that thread as well.)

    Thank God; I can sleep tonight after all.

    Very nice Andreas. I love these little odd pieces!
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
