This Croce al Valore Militare medal, possibly depicting a gladius style sword entwined with laurel wreaths, symbolizes traditional Roman military valor. Awarded during or after World War I, features the “VE III” cypher for King Victor Emmanuel III. Although originally instituted in 1918, it continued to be awarded into the 1940s, recognizing acts of service and valor.

While not rare in itself, its historical significance makes it particularly collectible. This medal, along with a smaller cross, has developed a beautiful heavy patina over time, adding character and historical intrigue to the set.
