    Hey guys, just got these medals online and couldn't get much info on them, if anyone can help me, that would be great.

    First is a kight's cross of the Order of the Crown from Belgium, not in great condition, but still a nice piece

    I can tell that this one is Italian, but could find anything else:

    The second one carries the House of Savoy crest on one side and a portrait (from an 1895 photograph) of Victor Emmanuel III on the other. The medal most likely dates to 1900 when he ascended the throne following his father's assassination.

    The last cross bears the Christogram IHS so religious rather than martial or monarchal.
