Itanian Medal ID

Very nice lot, congrats!
I like the Africa medal with two bars very much, just drop me a line if you decide to sell it
In my opinion, it's very unlikely that the american veteran found the medals personally. If he got them in Africa probably he swaped them from another soldier. Also, many americans were later sent from north Africa to Sicily and to Italy. So it's possible that the man actually found the medals here!
Another thing that I can say is that this is a "collection", not a grouping belonged to a same soldier.

almost forgot, the lot this these came from belonged to a US vet that spent some time in north Africa during the war, do you guys think he could have picked these up there?

Only to Avoid misunderstanding , the most of the medals are relevant to the Italian conquest of Estern Africa, Africa Orientale italiana,see on the map:Eritrea,etiopia, somalia,not relevant to the WWII in north africa, so this is only a beatiful collection with genuine items, but please not a Vet pickup ( any of the thousands mussolini era medals or WWII italian medals inside?).
P..s: Marcello (enorepap) for president!

thanks for the info guys, the vet passed sometime back and I got them from the person that is selling the estate. he is not a militaria dealer nor does he seem to know a lot about militaria at all. he said that the family told him these were something he brought back however it would not be the first time a vet told his family he brought something back he didn't. my own grand father had a cork screw he always said he brought back from WW2. turned out he bought it back in the 1970s. also had a guy try to sell me his dads WW2 luger that he brought back from Normandy, I ended up getting into a huge argument with him when I told him that that was imposable as the pistol was made by Ruger USA in the 1980's.

Does anyone know what the 3 enamel commemorative cross medals are worth?
