Inheritance - Mixed Bag of Items

[Darrell]

Hi guys,

Just today I picked up a box of medals and badges that were originally acquired by my deceased Uncle in Italy / France / Holland / Germany in WW2. I havent seen these for at least 30 years. My parents were sorting through the items of their house and happened to stumble across the box that contained the following items.

While I know what a few are, some of the others I would like help IDing or having some background information if you can lend the help. Please feel free to add your comments.

The last two items are rather unique ...

FIRST UP:

1. Italo-German Campaign Medal in Africa 1941 - This one is a zinc version devoid of any finish it may have once had. The maker "Lorioli Milano" is along the left side, "DE MARCHIS" at the bottom:

Obverse Complete:

2. Italo-German Campaign Medal in Africa 1941 - Reverse:

5. Next up is one I would like help with. I would guess that it is a service medal for Italian Troops who served in Russia? There is a maker mark on the reverse down on the lower right hand corner "LORIOLI MILANO ROMA" and "A.PICOZZI MILANO"

Obverse:

15. This Medal is called the Mussert Medal for Christmas Marches. It appears to be an annual award for participants. Similar medals were discussed here:

What's interesting about this one ... it is marked "1942" with the 1..9...and 4 in relief, and the "2" was stamped. Appears they may have made several off the same die and stamped the last number for successive years.
