John F. Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Polish Order of Virtuti Militari – What Time Period? Can anyone please help identify the time period of this Polish Order of Virtuti Militari? I checked in Dr. Wesolowski’s book on Polish Orders, Medal Badges & Insignia but to no avail. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grognards Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi, This looks like a 1919 Militari virtuti model, but... it seems to be a Panasiuk copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish boy Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I am almost 100% certain that your V-M is a Panasuik Copy from the 60's - 70's Panasuik made copies for collectors. There are quite a few around. However, Panasuik made very good copies, including their Regimental Badges. The genuine article sell for upwards of $900. I have 9 of them 4 sale, all pre 1939. All are genuine, some are recipients "wearing" copies made by the same jewelers that were commissioned by the Polish government to make the originals. This is a whole new topic in collecting that I can't go into here. I will be listing items from time to time on this site.
