Garibaldi partisan star question please?

[easty]

A question re this medal please. Are there two or more types of this design out there waiting to catch the unsuspecting novice? I'm looking to acquire one for a partisan display and would be grateful for any advice before parting with my hard earned money!

Thanks in anticipation.
Easty.

I really must start collecting something a little bit more mainstream.....

Done the deed now... rightly or wrongly!

Not only Poirot in disguise stuka.... an international spy as well!

@medalman... yes it's a lovely little medal and one of very few issued after the Italians turned against the fascists. Very similar to the US bronze star and quite hard to find.
