Lapel Buttons

Ive recently picked up a couple, what Id consider interesting, lapel buttons from Italy for various awards. What I like so much is that they are multi-award buttons and are so varied. My favorite is the Order of the Crown set but I like them both nonetheless. Both are made by Johnson in Milano.

The first features:

Order of the Crown/Civil War in Spain

Invasion of France 1940/Ethiopian Campaign

United Italy Medal/Ethiopian Campaign w/sword

 

Second features:

Al Valore Militari/United Italy Medal

WW1 Service/WW1 Victory Medal

Very neat lapel badges. The Italians used lapel buttons during this era for everything from party membership, to organizational/committee participation, to veteran awards...they are often intricate and enameled, and one could build a collection around these things themselves.
