Description
Personal ribbon bar of Galeazzo Ciano, the son-in-law of Benito Mussolinis, who served as Italian's Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1936 until 1943. This would be one of several bars he had worn.
 
Provenience: This ribbon bar was part of an old collection. The collector was a WWII veteran himself and died in the 1980s. He left a note with this bar (which we still have). His collection overall was excellent which is why his information are believable to us. However, we can not proof it belonged to Galeazzo Ciano.
 
Position 1:
Order of the Crown of Italy (Ordine della Corona d'Italia). Excellent 17mm miniature. 
Position 2:
German Eagle Order (unknown class). Height: 19mm. Fine cracks to the enamel.
Position 3:
Bulgarian Order of the Bravery with swords (unknown class)
Position 4:
Bulgarian Merit Medal (unknown class)
 
Length: 16cm. Height: 16mm
