ITALY: WW2 Commemorative Medal for the
Albanian Campaign (7–16 April 1939).
This is the Type "B" version of the medal
(together with type "C" this is probably the rarest
version).
Signed by Crippa & maker marked SJ (Johnson,
Milan).
Awarded to military and civilian participants in
the swift Italian occupation of Albania.
The campaign lasted just 9 days with minimal
resistance, leading to the exile of King Zog I
and Albania’s annexation into the Italian
Empire.
Instituted in 1940, the medal bears the
Roman number “XVII,” marking the 17th
year of Fascist rule.
