Paul R Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Thanks Riley! Again, awesome collection! I have a Cross of Merit second class. How difficult was it for you to find the First Class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 I buy my Polish ODMs from Professor Wesoloski. He has the Merit Cross with swords 1st-3rd Class reserved for me. I'll buy them on the 1st and this display case will be complete. In 4 months I'll have all 5 classes of the Order of Virtuti Militari.Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I only own one Polish Cross for Valor/1939 to a Soviet. Recently saw a great group with photos of a Pole wearing both his Sov & Polish stuff. 2 really nice photos in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'll soon have all variations of the Cross of Valor except the Type 1 Lenino ($1000). I may go ahead and get it, too, just to have a truly complete set.Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
