Got this, along with several other pieces, about ten years ago from the estate of one of the earliest OMSA members who actively collected for over seventy years. I know just enough about medals & decorations to get in trouble so thought I would ask the advice of the experts.
I have two questions - firstly, what is it? Secondly, what sort of value for insurance purposes? Thanks in advance....

Thank you! I knew I could count on you guys to help. Would anyone mind if I posted a few others? My reference library for medals is sorely lacking.

Thanks Gaspare,
You've confirmed my suspicions on this one. Anyone know what the C.S.I.R. stands for?

As Jimmie Durante used to say, "I got a million of 'em folks".
Anyone want to take a stab at this one?

Denny,,the problem with the Italian medal is that its not really an official award.. I've always wanted a 'correct' one. But, even though there's differences in quality and for the most part they all look the same, but I've forgot to mention that the reverse titles also slightly differ! Always for campaigns in Russia though.. Some have makers marks, some don't and when you ask at a show of course theirs are always the standard [correct] one!   This 3rd piece is for service in the Spanish Civil War.. Don't know the exact correct title of it though,,hopefully another member will jump in with the info ...,G.

Denny, a little late but,,,the C.S.I.R. on the Ital. cross = 'Croce commemorativa Corpo di Spedizione Italiano in Russia'
Or for us,,,Commemorative cross for Italian corps sent to fight in Russia ..
