    All,

    I am trying to describe a medal that has a particular type of suspension.  The suspension is akin to the type used on the Italian WWI Victory medal.  Alexander Laslo in his book Interallied Victory Medals of World War I refers to this suspension as ‘staffa’.  Is this the term that is commonly used?  Or, was it unique to Italian medals?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
