Does anyone know much about this medal? I know Askari has one...

I bought it on ebay (of course).
The only ones I'd seen were about two years ago, an amazingly horrible beat up one at a show, and one that Askari bought. Then nothing until a couple months ago--I'd been watching for it ever since-- and three came up on ebay. A perfect one I was seriously outbid on, a really beat up one, then finally this one.
I thought I saved the write-ups on it, but I can't find them on my computer. The medalist is Lancelot (or Croce Lancelot) and the name of it alludes to the 'passing of the barbarians'.
I've googled to no avail and I was thinking of bugging Askari, but I thought I'd see if any of you guys knew anything first.
Please ignore the wierdness in my photos...I was playing around with the exposure stuff with my simplistic photoediting software.
and the reverse:
I can't get over the face of the mom/widow and the bump of the baby's head against her cheek. They are so tiny, but speak volumes. It has haunted me for 2 years!
Thanks for any help
