Hello,

this type of cross was neither named, nor numbered, but the person who received it, is known.

Hello again,

searching in a recent and very well documented book (Wojciech Stela: "Polskie Ordery i Odznaczenia - Polish Orders and Medals - vol. I 1943-1946"; Warsaw, 2008; pages 80-83), it appears that this type of cross was made in 50 pieces only (material: gold 950/ooo), 43 of them were awarded, between 1945 and 1947 to 4 Polish; 9 USA; 5 Norwegians; 6 French; 17 USSR; 1 Czechoslowakian; 1 Yugoslav.

So, it should be a very rare version of this highly interesting and beautiful order.

Best wishes,

Elmar Lang

Hello everybody,

On a dealer's site I found these pictures of VM 4th class in solid gold. Like the 3rd class, it was made in Krasnokamsk, USSR. 226 were awarded - mostly to Soviet officers. See below.
