Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Here is the order that belonged to General Thaddeus Kosciuszko:I have been trying to to find a color photo, but I can't. I will try again later. Anyway the ribbon is blue with white edges. The same pattern was later used in the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well, the society is still (mostly) alive, so I guess the only question is in what era the badges are made? Whether in the 1780s or the 2000s, a legitimate badge is a legitimate badge. Each state has its own design traditions, so, to the initiated, you can tell the difference. Although I am technically elegible I am not a member, as someone beat me to my ancestor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
