Guys, Like I said, The scan and resize just doesn't do it justice. Under examination under a lighted magnifyer the detail is awesome. The enamel is spectacular. Plus the source is the only person I would ever trust to make a Polish Order & medal purchase from. Dr. Wesolowski is world reknown in the Polish ODM community. You have to know him and see this VM in person to know that it is the genuine article. I respect your opinions, however in this case and the Breast Star for the Grand Cross I am not swayed. Thanks for your input. Doc

Dear Anatoly, I'm sorry but you are 100% wrong this time. I wish you could look at it under a lighted magnifyer to see the detail. The scan and resizing it to make it fit the forum size limit doesn't do it justice. You really need to have this gem in hand to see that it is genuine. Take Care my friend, Doc

# I 19 in Dr. Battushigs Book. The one thing that has me confused is that this badge has a Blue with clasped hands hanger and the one in Battushigs book is Green with clasped hands hanger. Doc

# C 22 in Battushigs Book This MPA The Best Student Medal has the serial number 1568. Thanks Chuck!!! Doc

Anatoly, I am sorry but you are wrong on this one. The scan may be bad. This is the genuine item from Doc Wes' personal collection. He doesn't sell me any copies. i wish you could hold and see it in person. Doc
